By Emmanuel Mulondo A total of 730 guns have been collected in the on-going disarmament exercise in Kabarole district.A source told The New Vision recently that the exercise which started two weeks ago “was successful.”The guns are being withdrawn from vigilantes, local defence personnel and Special Police constables to rationalise local security arrangements.“These guns were too many to be left with such people yet we did not know the way they were issued,” a source in the joint security team carrying out the exercise said.Some of the guns were issued to civilians in the days of the Allied Democratic Force (ADF) rebel insurgency to enable them guard themselves against the rebels.The Resident District Commissioner, Canon Benon Rullonga was not available for comment.
