THE Catholic Bishop of Kotido diocese has urged development organisations to develop Kotido, writes Mathias Mazinga.
The Rt. Rev. Denis Kiwanuka Lotee attributed the region’s slow economic growth to exaggerated talk about insecurity, which scared away investors.
“International developers heading for this place stop in Soroti and retreat to Kampala after hearing exaggerated stories of insecurity,” he said.
Kiwanuka noted that some local politicians had not visited Kotido for decades. He was speaking to development practitioners from Caritas Uganda/Norway, at his residence in Kotido last week.
Caritas is a relief and development arm of the Roman Catholic Church. Kiwanuka urged developers and politicians to empower the residents.
