Members of Parliament from Kasese have warned government against splitting the district to create three proposed additional districts saying the move could further escalate the existing insecurity in the area.

Winnie Kizza the Woman MP for Kasese and also the Leader of Opposition in Parliament of Uganda.

The latest development comes at a time when elders from Kasese are reportedly spearheading the split of the district into three new districts namely; Bwera ,Hima and Kikolongo.

However, Kasese Woman MP Winnie Kiiza together with others ; MP  for Busongola North  William Nzoughu ,Bukonzo West MP Atkins Katusabe ,Kasese Municipality MP Centenary Robert ,MP for Bukonzo East Harold Muhindo and Busongola South MP Jackson Mbajju say that accepting the split of kasese district will  escalated insecurity in the area.

The MPs expressed their dissatisfaction about the plan during a meeting that they held at Parliament last week and vowed to fight the people planning for such a move.

According to the MPs, the proposal to have more new districts in Kasese is being fronted by the haters of Obusinga bwa Rwenzururu.

Kiiza who is also the Leader of Opposition in Parliament (LOP)said that people advocating for the new district are enemies of peaceful co-existence because this move will make the area suffer more tribal clashes.

William Nzoughu attacked the Resident District Commissioner of Nakasongola district, David Mutahunga and one Bamusedde Bwambale both from Kasese for posing as the elders spearheading the curving out of new districts.

He said such individuals harbor selfish interests for the politicians who lost in the last general elections.

Nzoughu charged that no one will make Kasese split without a resolution of a district council.
