The Secretary General of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, Richard Todwong, has advised people in Bukedi Sub-region to desist fighting.
Todwong who was meeting religious leaders from in Busia District on Thursday said such practices undermine development.
He was responding to NRM electoral commission Chairperson Dr Tanga Odoi’s which attributed poverty in the region to disunity.
"Secretary General, we are responsible for our poverty level because people have developed a lot of greed and envy to an extent that if someone prospers, a group led by elites gangs against that person," Dr Tanga explained.
This prompted Todwong to challenge the people in the region to redirect their mindset towards supporting government programmes aimed at poverty alleviation.
