SV: {UAH} Acholi king in trouble over Shs230m donor fund

Ingram,
Now your insertion is full of it!!!
Rubbish, so to say.
Acoli are not any different from any other Ugandan tribe. Through out history, people have always moved, married and intermarried, fought wars, captured women and men as war slaves etc, osv.....communicated!!

One question for you: IF YOU PEEL OFF THESE CATEGORIES YOU ARE ON TO FROM ACOLI DEMOGRAPHY BEFORE THEM, how exactly does the demography of Acoli (or any other Ugandan tribe for that matter) see out??????

I can assure you there is no prominent family in Acoli / Kal (Royals or nobles) that is purely "ACOLI". NONE!! Our grand mothers and fathers have come from all over. Acoli Baganda, Acoli Bakiga, Acoli  Banyarwanda etc is not a new phenomenon.

If you did not know, the word Acoli itself is a recent invention. It is / was a compromise
to unite unite all the complex demographies
under one district.
You need to vitalise your knowledge of Acoli and Ugandan demography at large.

It is similar all over the world.

Robukui-there is always a silver lining! Some of those situations (wars,atrocities etc)can help bring people together as per " kids  born to...." I don't agree on yr Rwandese reference. I would prefer "kids born to non-Acholis". Those born to Banyankole we can call them "Ankcholi" or "Acholank" or those to Baganda as "Bagachol" or "Achobag"-to Batoro as "Torach" or "Achto",to the Karimojong  as "Kariacho" or "Achoka"-----the list is endless,-these are just a few.

Ingram,

You are closer to the truth than you know, what happened to all those kids born to Rwandese soldiers in Northern Uganda as they chased first uncle Konnie, then the other 'God' fearing Lakwena?

A few of the known ones were removed kabisa, the unkown one still run around amok in Choli land.

I read this today and I was thinking of how these Acholi Tutsis are stealing public funds. Mujabi and Kwitonda-any comment?

Gulu- The Acholi Paramount Chief, Rwot David Onen Achana II, could be in trouble after the Netherlands Kingdom asked the cultural leader to refund Shs230 million donated to the institution to help end conflicts in the area.

In a letter, the Netherlands Ambassador to Uganda, Alphons Hennekens demanded that the money be refunded or the cultural institution faces legal action.

The money was part of the Shs1.3 billion earmarked by the Demographic Governing Facility for empowering the Acholi Cultural Institution in terms of conflict resolution and peace building.

The Netherlands Kingdom through the Demographic Governing Facility had signed a partnership with Acholi Cultural institution in November 2012, to foster reconciliation through peace meetings and negotiations.

In a letter dated November 28, signed by H. E Alphons Hennekens, and addressed to the Paramount Chief's office, the kingdom said it had come to their knowledge that there had been fraudulent activities, coupled with lack of accountability and diversion of funds resulting in loss of Shs230m.

"This is therefore to demand for the immediate refund of Shs230 million, furthermore the partnership is forthwith suspended," the letter reads in part.

The letter also said action be taken against the perpetrators of the fraud. In a meeting on Friday convened by the Acholi Cultural Institution to resolve the impasses, leaders accused the Paramount Chief of shielding corrupt individuals in his administration.

One of the accused is Mr Kenneth Oketa, the institution primer and the Paramount Chief himself, who are both signatories to bank accounts of the Acholi Culture Institution.

However Rwot Achana told Acholi leaders that Mr Oketa had since resigned. "I agree there is a problem, maybe you need to support me to write back to the ambassador for negotiations,"

In April the Council of Chiefs resolved that Mr Oketa leaves office to pave way for an investigation into alleged mismanagement. 
However Mr Oketa refused, saying he was left to take care of the office as he waits for the return of Paramount Chief from his studies in London.

Mr Ben Acelam, the accounts specialist, said a forensic audit be availed to probe the committee of Ker Kwaro Acholi.
