MBALE-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: Angry residents in Bumasikye sub county in Mbale district have voted out their area LC 1 chairperson for alleged theft of a pig.

The residents faulted Robert Masaba for non exemplary conduct and immediately threw him out of office by electing new leadership.

They also wanted the authorities to allow them to give him five strokes of the cane in vain. Masaba is alleged to have stolen a pig belonging to Francis Welishe, the former area LC I chairperson of the same village last month.

He confessed to the theft in a village meeting and promised to compensate his predecessor Shillings 150,000 for his pig within one month. However, the agreed time elapsed without the accused compensating his victim, which prompted other area leaders to call a meeting and forge a way forward.
