The Army’s response was prompted when the MP for Gulu Municipality, Lyandro Komakech, told the committee on human rights chaired by Mitoma district Woman MP, Jovah Kamateka that the people in the north still fear that LRA rebel would regroup and attack them since they are still having bases in the nearby countries.
While responding to the matter, the Chief of Defence Forces, General Edward Katumba Wamala, while appearing in the same committee assured the country that Ugandans should not fear that Joseph Kony’s rebels at any one given time can attack the north again, adding that LRA is a spent force.
