Section of land grabbers in Ajia Sub-county, Vurra Constituency, Arua District have intensified their appetite to grab a land belonging to Ocoko Rehabilitation Center, a government facility established over 50 years ago for skilling the Youths in WestNile region and from other parts of Uganda for free.


In this year's 2023 intake, a total of 82 students from different parts of WestNile region and some from Kampala have enrolled to undertake courses like; tailoring, leather works / shoe making, hair dressing, knitting / weaving, welding and metal fabrication.


Students who successfully finish six months vocational courses from this facility are always given tools and some money 150,000 Shs each as a start up capital in their various fields of course.


Speaking on anonymity to this online publication blog team today Wednesday 15-2-2023, one of the staff said, they are now days living in fear since some of the key people in this land grabbing scandal are powerful, one has money and the other one is a UPDF soldier at the rank of "private" who always intimidates them from using part of the land belonging to the institute.


Another staff whose identity we have concealed irked that, those purported land grabbers have been and are still using the land to grow their own crops.


Following these series of events at the institute,  the staffs are frightened.



Stay tuned here for more news and updates on regional, national and international stories that matter to you.

One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election.

Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu.
