The ministry of Karamoja affairs has expressed commitment to addressing the problem of karamoja street children.

State minister for Karamoja affairs Babra Nekesa says the ministry is working on rehabilitating the Koblin reception centre after getting mandate from the ministry of gender.

She says the ministry wants the centre functional for skills development before real settlement of street children is made.

Nekesa however adds that when that is done the ministry is then to handle the individuals who have been ferrying the karamoja children onto the city streets for their selfish gains.
