THE Arrow Boys, a local militia, will remain under the Army as part of the national
reserve force in Teso, its overall commander Capt. Mike Mukula has said.
During an interview last week, Mukula said the Arrow Boys was an auxiliary force fully
commanded and controlled by the Uganda People's Defence Forces.
"We will keep our arms until the Karamajong surrender all their guns and the
Government will be satisfied with our work," he said.
Mukula said the Karamajong were a threat to the people of Teso because they had guns,
adding that by retaining their guns, the Arrow Boys militia would be in position to
fight them off and protect the Iteso from being raided.
