Arua City residents want Assistant RCC Matua transferred

ARUA. A section of the residents in Arua Central Division of Arua City have stormed the office of the Resident City Commissioner (RCC) demanding for the transfer of Assistant RCC, Job Richard Matua. The residents, mainly from Kenya ward, accused Matua of ordering the arrest of six Parish Development Model (PDM) leaders without conducting prior investigations against them. They claim that Matua was politically used to arrest the PDM leaders from Kenya ward on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. The suspects, arrested for alleged misappropriation of PDM funds were later released on police bond on the fateful day. The arrest, however, forced a number of residents from Kenya ward to storm the RCC’s office on Thursday with placards encrypted with various messages against Matua as they threatened to lock his office door. Hellen Drabezu, one of the PDM beneficiaries in Kenya ward, wondered why her PDM leaders were arrested yet people are getting the PDM funds in Kenya ward cells. “We are not happy with what Matua is doing in Arua City because he is not the one who brought for us the peace. Was he sent here to come and disorganize NRM?” Drabezu asked. “We need President Museveni to send for us somebody who brings us together and we work together and we grow together. We need no arrests. Let him go away from here. We need a person who can unite us, we need our NRM on power, we don’t need segregation. If he is power hungry, let him try to stand as a President,” Drabezu said, attracting a loud applause from her fellow demonstrators. She said they trust their PDM leaders, a reason many of the residents in the area have got their PDM money. “Right now, we came with all the PDM files, we wanted to hand the files to Mr. Matua, he should go and handle PDM in Kenya ward. But rightly, they sent for us a good RCC (Ham Mizamil Ezama) who has advised us. We are waiting for the next meeting…but we no longer need Matua here,” Drabezu stated.
