This is what he said in full ““The cattle have now reached to Amee and some are still in Ayii . We had a thousand heads of cattle which were in greater Magwi.So we want to clarify to the people that the rumors they have been hearing from other people, saying that the cattle are not moving is a lie. There is a very important message from the office of the vice President that those pastoralists should start moving a long the river bank so that they can proceed upto Lob’bonok. From Lo’bonok then, they can also follow the nile to AJukek. So I want to assure the general public that the implementation of the Presidential order is moving on smoothly without any hesitations”.

He further added that they are doing this because of the President directives and that the cattle owners are doing their part too voluntarily without force.
