While briefing the leaders Brig. Gen. Felix Busizoori, the Third Division Deputy Commander acknowledged the involvement of the leaders in pacifying the Karamoja sub-region and the relevance of the ideological orientation program. “I urge you to take this scheduled program seriously as it’s intended to enhance local leadership understanding skills, mindset change, teamwork, conflict management and harmonisation of methods of work.”

He further echoed that the program package is prepared to suit the Karamoja situation and therefore encouraged leaders to take the opportunity to interact with each other, participate in the discussions and share knowledge that can bring socioeconomic transformation to the Karamoja sub-region.
