The state minister for northern Uganda Rebecca Atengo has appealed to the donor community to reconsider its decision on suspending funding to the country.

This follows the suspension of funds from UK and Ireland among other countries as a result of the mismanagement of funds by the office of the prime minister.

Speaking to journalists at parliament, Atengo said that the cuts will impact negatively on the people of Northern Uganda who have been benefitting.

She however says that negotiations are already underway to convince the donors reverse their decision.

She further expresses government’s commitment to ensure the recovery of the stolen money.
