SOROTI: A section of elders in Teso region have expressed their disappointment in way how political leaders of Teso are fighting each other over no reason.
The elders raised this in separate interviews with this publication over the weekend in Soroti and Katakwi districts. Justine Emuron from Arapai in Soroti district said President Museveni had given a large slot of appointments to Teso region but the infighting among the Iteso politicians was failing development in the region.
According to Emuron, there are two comps in Teso region one headed by speaker of Parliament Rt hon Annet Anita Among who also doubles as woman member of parliament  for Bukedea district and another camp loyal  to Vice President Jessica Alupo who also doubles as woman member of parliament for Katakwi district.
He said these two camps don’t share a table of food yet there all from Teso region who should be fighting for a common goal for Teso development.
“We are not happy as elders because we kept on blaming President Museveni for ignoring Teso but finally the president listened to us and appointed quite many Iteso leaders in good positions but we are not seeing the benefit of their appointments because of their infightings-“he said.
It should be noted that president Museveni has appointed a big number of Iteso people in his government  the first of it’s kind since Uganda got her independence. The first appointment is Jessica Alupo the vice President  of Uganda marking the first Itesot woman to be in that office, followed by Dr Keneth Omona the Presidential private secretary.
Annet Anita Among Speaker of Parliament, Gen Peter Elwelu deputy Chief of Defence forces, Gen Jeje Odongo Minister for minister for foreign affairs, Francis  Musa Ecweru state minister for Works, Peter Ogwang State minister for Sports, Hellen Adoa state minister for Fisheries, Hellen Asamo state minister for people with disabilities.
Sidronius Opolot Okaasai state minister for Energy and many other departments what would help to jointly fight for the Teso development however this publication has learnt  that Teso is going to remain the way it was without the appointments of all those people as long as the fighting continues.
Patrick Okoed an elder and a resident of Kapir in Ngora apologized to President for all the demands made by Iteso elders which he said he has partly fulfilled but blame goes to the people of Teso.
“Indeed we blamed the poverty in Teso to the president failure to appoint many Itesots in government but quickly the president took a step  and gave offices to Iteso but again the devil has entered in the hearts of our children given those offices to fight each other instead of using their offices to influence the development of Teso,”he said.
Moses Odikor another elder says its unfortunate that the Teso elected leaders do better things in other regions and forget doing it in the region where they hail from.
”  I have now believed that the best carpenter  has good chair at his home and that’s what’s happening to our elected children who want to high support other regions instead of their own region,”he said.
James Okiror from Ngariam in Katakwi said Teso region will never again get such appointments after president Museveni leaving power.
He advised the vice president never to to pay attention to those who are hired to fight against her but she should concentrate helping her people of Teso. Joel Okurut a business man in Soroti said the worsed thing is that these politicians are now taking their fights to frustrate  local investors who happend to be relatives to those they are fight with.
