Community Clean-Up Initiative Launched in Moroto

Joint security forces and local leaders have kicked off the Tarehe Sita activities in Moroto Municipality. The initiative features a community cleaning exercise. Brigadier General Wilberforce Sserunkuma, commander of the UPDF Third Division, leads the effort.

The Cleaning Operation

The team includes UPDF personnel, the Anti-Stock Theft Unit from the Police, the Prison Service, and local leaders. They began their work on Monday morning by clearing rubbish, sweeping streets, and unclogging drainage systems. They started in the market area and then moved to other parts of town.

A Gesture of Gratitude

Brigadier General Sserunkuma called this initiative a way to thank the people of Uganda for their support during past liberation struggles. “This is our way of appreciating the people of Uganda for their continued support in the liberation struggles that led to the overthrow of former President Milton Obote,” he said.

Moroto Mayor Mohammed Ismail praised the government’s disarmament efforts for improving regional stability. Moroto Deputy Resident District Commissioner Justin Tuko commended the UPDF’s active engagement with civilians, noting that it contrasts with past military regimes.

National Significance

Assistant Superintendent of Police Wabson Mugabe stressed that Tarehe Sita unites different stakeholders and carries national importance. The nationwide activities will conclude with a main celebration on February 6. This day commemorates the 1981 attack by the National Resistance Army—now known as the UPDF—which marked the start of the liberation struggle.
