Security teams grabbed 35 cows and locked up eight cattle herders near the border. The animals were hiding deep inside thick bushes around Lomunga Village. Police officers and soldiers worked together during this major raid. District leaders Samuel Mpimbaza Hashaka and Umuhoza Habiba Furaha led the search mission. The herders broke President Museveni's new cattle rules from June.
Government forces launched Operation Harmony to kick out illegal cattle keepers across Uganda. The president banned free roaming cows from northern areas where local people share land. Hashaka says some politicians and land owners help herders break these laws. These bad deals let cattle stay on community land against government orders. The district chief warns that corrupt leaders protect herders instead of local farmers.
Museveni signed his cattle order because roaming livestock destroys crops and blocks water access. The animals also cause fights over land and make food harder to find. Government workers call free range cattle unfair to local farmers. Security forces have already moved over 3000 cows out of affected regions. Military trucks escort the animals across bridges to safer areas.
District animal doctors give special permits for moving cattle legally. Herders who want to return later must buy fenced land with water sources. Government teams will check land ownership records after all cattle leave. The raids continue because some herders refuse to follow the new rules. Officials promise tougher action against anyone hiding livestock.
