From highly placed sources, it is revealed that, another female minister (name withheld for security reasons) has this year 2023 hijacked a tractor lobbied by Hon Alioni Yorke Odria that is supposed to be given out to Aringa South Constituency Farmers in Yumbe District.
The government of Uganda through ministry of Agricuture had taken up this initiative to give tractors for farmers associations to boost their production from the farms.
Last year 8-December-2022, the Ministry of Agriculture together with Clergies from Madi & WestNile Diocese, some MPs from WestNile region and MPs from other regions launched distribution of tractors to be given out to farmers groups in the country, with Madi Okollo District headed by the Woman MP Joanne Aniku Okia to get one, Aringa South Constituency farmers to also get one and Madi and WestNile Dioces to equally get one.
Following the official launch, Ministry of Agriculture tasked the leaders who lobbied for these tractors to submit drivers for trainings.
After compliance from these leaders who lobbied it, Hon Odria was disappointed upon reaching there to sign the tractor for farmers in his constituency, he was told the tractor he lobbied for Aringa South constituency has been taken by a female Minister from WestNile region on allegations that, He (Hon Odria) presented to Ministry of Agriculture, a list of ghost farmers association in Aringa South.
Speaking to this online publication blog team, the furious Aringa South Constituency MP Odria Alioni said, what the Minister has done to the farmers in Aringa South, is complete abuse of office.
I am not going to take this matter lightly, Hon Odria added.
