Hon. Anyimo Harriet Champions Unity in Dakabela County Amid Tribal Division

Dakabela County — Dakabela County has been facing increasing political and social tension due to a tribal division involving the Karamoja and Kumam communities. This division was sparked by inflammatory remarks from Hon. Edopu Peter Edeku, the NRM flag bearer, who insulted the Iteso by referring to them as people from Karamoja—remarks that have been widely condemned as divisive and damaging.

In the midst of this turmoil, Hon. Anyimo Harriet, who is also contesting for the Member of Parliament position in Dakabela County, has emerged as a unifying force. While addressing voters at her home in Katine, Harriet called for an end to tribal politics and urged residents to prioritize unity and peaceful coexistence.

“Dakabela belongs to all of us. Whether Karamoja, Kumam, or any other community, we must stand together. Leadership is about healing, not division,” Harriet stated.

Hon. Harriet’s response stands in stark contrast to that of Hon. Edopu Peter Edeku, who, despite being the NRM flag bearer, has been Romored to be in Rome at a time when Dakabela needs strong, responsible leadership. His absence and the divisive remarks have raised concerns among residents, who argue that leadership must be present and proactive, especially during crises.

In contrast, Hon. Anyimo Harriet has consistently emphasized the need for responsible leadership that focuses on development and inclusivity. She condemned the inflammatory language that sparked the division and called on all political actors to be mindful of their words and actions.

Harriet’s message of unity and development has resonated deeply among both the Karamoja and Kumam communities. Elders, women, and youth leaders have praised her inclusive and mature approach, noting that her leadership is exactly what Dakabela County needs to move forward.

Political analysts note that Hon. Anyimo Harriet’s commitment to unity and development strengthens her candidacy, presenting her as the leader who can bridge divides and promote peace in Dakabela County. As the elections approach, many residents believe that Harriet’s leadership is crucial for the county’s future, favoring her vision of a united and prosperous Dakabela.

As campaigns intensify, it is clear that Dakabela County must choose leaders who prioritize the well-being and unity of all its residents. Hon. Anyimo Harriet’s stand against tribal division and her focus on development make her the preferred choice for those who seek a cohesive and progressive Dakabela County.
