YOUTHS STORM NRM OFFICES IN ARUA OVER UNPAID ALLOWANCES

YOUTH-9cd8757a

Hundreds of youths yesterday stormed the NRM party offices in Arua city over the alleged embezzlement of over 7 Million Shillings.

The money was reportedly sent from the NRM Secretariat to facilitate the youths to participate in the Special Interest Groups-SIGs elections that were held on Wednesday.

More than 400 youths from the two divisions of Ayivu and Arua Central had demanded to be paid 20,000 Shillings for transport and lunch facilitation before voting but were told to wait until voting was completed and results declared.

However, after the voting and declaration of results, the youths demanded their pay but were told the money had already been paid out to their leaders.

The angry youths accused the NRM Chairperson Joyce Amaguru and the NRM Administrative Secretary James Emvi of conniving to squander their money. 

Amaguru told the youths that the money had already been paid to their leaders, but this generated more chaos from the youth forcing the police to intervene.
