LIRA district has failed to implement most of its 2003/04 financial year work plans
due to the declining security situation in the region.
In a statement recently, Lira district chairman Franco Ojur said the insurgency had
halted development in the district.
"The district budget was passed when Lira was peaceful but around October last year,
insecurity increased, rendering nearly all planned activity impossible," he said.
Ojur said despite the fact that the money was still in the bank, rebel activity in the
area had hindered the implementation of district development projects.
