The commanding officer of the UPDF Third division, Col. Silver Kayemba, has challenged political commissars (PCs) to play a leading role in the disarmament exercise in Karamoja.
He said the Karimojong should be made to know that a State exists in Uganda.
"You should make the Karimojong know that there are bosses in the country known as the executive and that there is also the judiciary," Kayemba said.
He was on Friday passing out 124 PCs from the Teso-based Arrow Group militia and the anti-stock theft Unit from Karamoja, who had completed a six-month basic cadre course at the UPDF Third division garrison in Mbale.
Kayemba said he had been mandated to ensure that all illegal guns in Karamoja were recovered.
"I have been mandated to deal with whoever tries to bring confusion in the exercise. The Karimojong must give in their guns," he said.
He advised the PCs to foster a strong linkage between the UPDF and the civilian population.
"The moment the relationship between you and the civilians collapses, you will become the anti-UPDF," Kayemba said.

He said the political commissars had a duty to boost the morale of soldiers.
"Your inefficiency can, therefore, fail our mission," Kayemba said, adding that, "You should also be equipped with confidence-building measures so that we have the masses on our side if we are to remain the much cherished UPDF."
