President Museveni has been urged to withdraw tough restrictions regarding distribution of iron sheets to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Teso.
These tough restrictions are said to be affecting the distribution of iron sheets in Amuria and Katakwi districts because people have failed to meet the conditions.
This was disclosed by the LC5 chairperson for Kaberamaido district, Robert Engulu yesterday during the 9th human rights annual report review for 2006 /2007 at Soroti regional human rights office.
Engulu was charting a way forward to questions raised by leaders from Amuria and Katakwi that IDPs there have not fully received iron sheets meant for resettlement.
Engulu says such restrictions like one must have raised a concrete wall are not applicable with IDPs living in Teso because they can’t afford due to poverty situations.
He appeals to government to address the problem while considering human rights abuses that the locals are experiencing.
