MOROTO: A section of the Karimojong reformed cattle rustlers have demanded for a special audit and headcount of the companies that were hired by office of the prime minister to distribute goats.
A survey by this website has learnt that there were more than 80 companies that were hired to distribute goats but others never distributed all the goats that were supposed to distribute in the entire region over unclear reasons.

Speaking to this website Apalokol Lomuria one of the reformed rustlers said some companies connived with the district veterinary officers and office of the prime minister officials to force people to receive sick goats which later died.
“There people who were supposed to receive 15 goats but they ended up receiving 4 goats and they could not tell where the balance is”- Apalokol says
Mario Longora another reformed rustler says there was also no documentation availed to the beneficiaries on the clear type of the animal distributions.
“There’s need to interrogate all the companies that were hired to distribute goats to the Karimojong because these companies brought us nothing apart from sick goats”-Longora also notes
This website got some names of the companies that were awarded tenders to distribute goats to Karimojongs.
They include, Enrich agro company limited, Kanggwa good will company limited, Mamic 2014 company limited, Kakise company limited, Kelai company limited, Jamalis company limited, Supidy company limited and many others hidden that this website could not get all but will avail their names also later.
Peter Lokol another resident says interrogating the owners of these companies blacklist those who failed to deliver good quality goats will save the situation.
“If these companies are not questioned on why they didn’t supply quality goats to the people of Karamoja, they will still come and apply for other upcoming contracts and again mess up”-Lokol
