KABERAMAIDO 5/4/2008.

Kaberamaido Chief Administration Officer (CAO), Roselyn Adongo has advised residents of Lwala parish to embark on developmental issues and stop witchcraft.

Adongo pointed this out during a security meeting chaired by the Resident District Commissioner- Kaberamaido on Wednesday.

Adongo who was alarmed at the high rate of loss of life and burning of houses mysteriously at Acetangorom village in Lwala parish due to witch craft in the area condemned the act.

She said this does not bring development in the area if such practice is in place.

During the heated meeting which was boosted by security personnel, CAO ordered for the voting of people who are practicing witchcraft and those with illegal guns.

After the exercise, a man by names of John Edeu led with over 150 votes of being a witch doctor that has killed very many people in this village while other several people were voted for having illegal guns.

The RDC, John Eresu has ordered the police to open the files for these people.

Eresu asked all the voted candidates to report to police by Monday to record statements.

End.



Kaberamaido- Resident District Commissioner (RDC), John Eresu has rejected the summons letter saying it’s forged.

This summons letter which is directed to the school management committee of Kaberamaido town ship Primary School is signed by Grade One Magistrate court in Kaberamaido.

The letter demands the school authority to defend its self within 21 days for trespassing on Peter Engoru’s plot No.18 in Ekinu road.

Eresu yesterday questioned the document saying this is just forgery citing that the letter has a mere local stamp and no ceal,also the letter is not dated.

Eresu further doubted the signature in the letter as not being for the magistrate.

Interestingly the witnesses have not signed the affidavit attached to the summons letter and during the meeting some witnesses wondered why their names were put in this letter.

The RDC has therefore vowed to take up the matter seriously and says he is going to consult the magistrate on Thursday next week.

However, this stormy meeting was postponed to another date where the complainant of plots and the school is going to sit with Kaberamaido town council staff to forge a way forward.

End.
