KAABONG: A group of voters of Dodoth East Constituency in Kaabong district have started collecting signatures to petition the speaker of Parliament to compel their elected member of parliament Hon. Emmanuel Komol to perform his duties.
Speaking to this website, the electorates accuse Komol for shunning his constituency leaving residents being tormented by cattle rustlers.
Lomuria Apananya one of the residents say ever since they elected Komol in 2021 general elections he has only visited the constituency four times.

“Other Mps in the region move with their voters recovering stolen animals but our MP has never thought of supporting us, we are just now living like an orphan.’-he says.
Magy Lemukol another voter says she has regretted why she voted the leader who had ambitions to support the local community only to change suddenly.
“We didn’t vote for Lokeris Samson because the security and other leaders convinced us that Emmanuel Komol would help us change the situation by doubling his effort from Lokeris Samson but we didn’t know that it will be worse”-he says.
Lemukol adds that the people of Dodoth East constituency have lost thousands of cattle to Turkana and Jie of Kotido and they have not been recovered simply because the member of parliament who could work closely with the security operatives is not available.
“He has switched off all his phones now one full year no electorate can call him,” she says.
Joseph Longole also says the legislator has forgotten all what he pledged to support people. He adds that petitioning the Speaker of parliament is the only option left so that their voice can be heard.
“Could it be that our Member of parliament has some hidden issues making him stay away from the constituency, or he has been arrested and he’s in prisons without our knowledge, where is he all that time,” he questions
This website tried several attempts to contact the the legislator in question including via his WhatsApp message but he could not reply despite the fact that he was online.
