A section of the Karimojong elders and youth have welcomed the on going prosecution of all ministers implicated in the theft of the Karamoja iron sheets.
However the elders say arresting, prosecuting and remanding the implicated ministers will not have solved the problem adding that government should go a head and auction their assets.
Moses Lokol a resident of Lokopo sub county demands that the assets of all ministers implicated in the theft of Karamoja iron sheets be auctioned on grounds that they got them through dubious deals.
“This the fact that the ministers who took the iron sheets are thieves and they should be treated as thieves not honorables and whatever they have in their possession were got out of stealing”-Lokol suggests

So far three Museveni ministers who are part of the Mabaati beneficiaries have been arrested of which two of them Dr.Mary Goreti Kitutu of Karamoja affairs spent 8 days in Luzira prisons before she was bailed out.
The second is junior minister for planning minister Amos Lugolobi who’s currently in Prisons, the 3rd minister to be arrested is Ms Agnes Nandutu state minister for Karamoja affairs who has since been committed to the high court and remanded to Luzira prisons until 3rd May.
The ministers and others pending to be arrested are charged with diversion of iron sheets which were meant for vulnerable people of Karamoja.
Mark Apananya one of the elders and a resident of Ngoleriet sub county in Napak district says most of the implicated ministers are likely to be bailed out and the cases die.
“Yes they have been taken to court and prisons but they are coming out freely, even going to work how i wish they are even barred from accessing their offices it would be better”-Apananya suggests
The elders and youth spoke to this website today in different interviews.
