Parliament | July 21, 2026



Hon. Marshall Alenyo O.O, Member of Parliament for Jonam County, used his tribute to the late Rt. Hon. Gen. (Rtd.) Moses Ali in Parliament to draw attention to the ongoing fisheries enforcement operations affecting fishing communities in the West Nile region.


During the tribute session, Hon. Alenyo appealed for a more humane approach to the operations, urging authorities to protect the livelihoods of local fishermen while enforcing fisheries regulations.


Following his intervention, regional leaders engaged the Prime Minister and the Deputy Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) on the matter. The discussions yielded assurances that the concerns raised would be addressed.


According to the update, Deputy CDF Maj. Gen. Francis Okiding pledged to engage marine enforcement officers on the ground, directing them to prioritize sensitization and public awareness before resorting to the destruction of boats and fishing gear.

They expressed hope that the concerns raised by Hon. Marshall Alenyo both on the floor of Parliament and through subsequent engagements would receive the urgency and seriousness they deserve, ensuring that conservation efforts do not leave communities in desperation and hopelessness.
