Authorities to disown NGOs operating in the soroti municipality

Authorities in Soroti municipality have vowed to disown non-government organizations operating in the area without their knowledge.

Moses Ecuru the deputy mayor says that there are some brief case organizations operating in the municipality claiming to be targeting women, youth, and orphans without their consent.

He says some of them are brief case NGS that end up asking for money from the locals before supporting them and disappear after achieving their goal.

Ecuru urges residents to tip leaders on any activity that is being conducted by any NGO in the area for easy tracking of such organizations.

"In Kumi municipality one of the brief case organizations corned money from the vulnerable people and disappeared a thing leaders and residents should guard against" Ecuru said

Isaac Kawoya the Resident District Commissioner for Soroti district says that all NGOs are supposed to sign a memorandum of understanding with the district or municipality so that the targeted group of people benefit.

Kawoya says people should avoid giving out money to NGOs who are supposed to support them.
