A section of residents in Bugobero Sub County in Manafwa District have welcomed the release of the Karamoja Minister Dr. Mary Gorrete Kitutu by the Anti-Corruption Court.


Kitutu was granted cash bail of 10 Million Shillings after resubmitting fresh sureties after the previous ones were rejected by Chief Magistrate Joan Aciro. Kitutu’s co-accused and brother, Michael Naboya Kitutu was also granted bail of 3 million Shillings cash.

Nawosi Gerald a resident of Namwerakha village in Bugobero Sub County says he is happy that Dr. Kitutu is out on bail. Nawosi however wants all officials implicated in the iron sheets saga to be arrested and arraigned before court.

Ivan Nangumba from Bwakoro village says all those implicated should be forced to return the iron sheets.

Kitutu was last week charged with causing the loss of public property by diverting 14,500 pieces of iron sheets that were meant to benefit the people of Karamoja under the Karamoja Community Empowerment Program.
