Kampala — AMURU district has signed a memorandum of understanding with Uganda Wildlife Safari and Uganda Wildlife Authority to hire professional hunters to capture stray wild animals.

The district chairman, Anthony Atube, said the hunters would get rid of the wild animals in Achwa-Lolim, which borders Murchison Falls National Park.

The move follows complaints by communities in Koch-Goma, Alero, Anaka and Purongo sub-counties, which border the park about marauding wild animals which destroy their crops and other property.
