"This government has ruled for 30 years but there is still poverty everywhere. I and my colleagues will table the problem facing Karamoja Sub-region before government so that this kind of unannounced visits which is uncomfortable to our locals stops," he added.

Okot who also doubles as the Chairperson Lango Parliamentary Group (LPG) made these remarks on Wednesday at Olilim Sub-county, Otuke district.

Okot and fellow MPs from Lango Sub-region were meeting district leaders to sort the issue of invasion by the Karamajong rustlers seeking water and green pasture.

It is alleged that the Karamajong rustlers from Kotido district invaded parts of Otuke district there by chasing away locals and taking over all water spots and food crop gardens in the area.

He therefore advised the NRM government under President
