The Acholi Parliamentary Group (APG) has condemned the Monday arrest of Catholic priest Monsignor Mathew Ojara in Kitgum, on allegations of rebel collaboration.
Addressing a press conference at Parliament yesterday, Agago Mp Prof. Morris Ogenga Latigo, reading from a joint APG statement, said they had no doubt the arrest was a continuation of harassment of the Catholic church in Acholi.

"We would like to reject outright, and with the greatest contempt, this outrageous accusation against a man of God," Latigo said.
The MPs accused army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza and security minister Betty Aketch of persistently accusing catholic priests in Gulu of collaborating with rebels, without evidence.
