The commissioner the state government and the county authority are working hard in collaboration with Lokichoggio leaders from Kenya to ensure peace between the two communities and cross the border is attained and promoted.
“We are ensuring either the two do not steal animals from the neighbouring countries,” he said.
Mr. Lokwacuma, however, complained that despite his effort to ensure return of the cattle, some thieves from Turkana District stole three donkeys from Kapoeta East County, but all efforts made by his counterpart in Lokichoggio did not respond positively.
The recovery and return of the stolen Turkana cattle on Sunday coincided with youth summit concluding a six-month peace project that attracted young people from Budi and Kapoeta East counties.
According to Peace and Justice Coordinator for the Catholic Diocese of Torit, Fr. John Opi, the summit aimed at empowering young people to create awareness among young people on the dangers of cattle raiding and banditry in the region.
Catholic Relief Service (CRS) and the Catholic Diocese of Torit implemented the Peace Building pilot project funded by United Nations International Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF).
