Ukudilika komhlaba okukhulu kumazantsi eNtaba iElgon kwabangela intlekele enkulu kwimpuma yeUganda, xa iilali ezintathu zangcwatywa kudaka oluziimitha eziliqela ukuphakama. Uphando olongezelelweyo lubonise ukuba ezi ndawo zokuhlala zazingaphakathi kwimida yepaki yelizwe ekhethiweyo kwiindawo apho i-Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) yazama amaxesha amaninzi ukumisa ukutyhoboza, ukukhupha i-squatters engekho mthethweni, nokubuyisela i-cover cover yehlathi ukubamba umhlaba kunye. Ukukhutshwa akuphumelelanga kwixesha elidlulileyo ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo, kodwa ubukhulu becala kubangelwa ngabapolitiki basekuhlaleni abangakhathaliyo okanye abafuna ipolitiki, nabakhuthaza abahlali ukuba bahlale ngaphakathi epakini, okanye bangene epakini bafune umhlaba kwasekuqaleni.
Ecaleni kokungena nokuhlaliswa kwabantu ngokungekho semthethweni kwakugawulwa imithi ngokungenankathalo ukuze kugutyulwe amabala amancinane omhlaba wokufama, amaxesha amaninzi kumathambeka njengakwindawo echaphazelekayo ngoku, ukuze kusetyenziswe ezolimo. Nangona kunjalo, ngokungafaniyo nakweminye imimandla yelizwe, akukho mida yemilinganiselo efanelekileyo eyenzekayo, eshiya iindawo ezifuywayo zamathambeka echanabeke kwimigibe yeemvula ezinkulu kunye nodaka olunokubakho.
Iiveki zemvula enkulu kunye neentsuku zemvula enkulu ngaphambi kwentlekele ziye zaqhubela phambili inyaniso ekrakra nengathandekiyo yokuba ezi ndawo zokuhlala zazisengozini yeentlekele zendalo, kwaye abahlali belali bekufanele bagxothwe xa i-Uganda Wildlife Authority yayifuna. ukwenza oko, ukukhusela ipaki, ukukhusela ihlathi, ukukhusela indawo ekuqokelelwa kuyo amanzi, kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu kukukhusela abantu abangena kwindawo eyingozi kwaye belahlekisiwe ukuba bahlale apho.
I-UWA ngoku ilumkisile ukuba kukho ezinye iindawo zale paki, nazo eziye zangenelwa kwaye zajongana neemeko ezifanayo, njengoko kungekho mithi ishiywe ibambe umhlaba kunye kwaye ngoku isengozini yokudilika komhlaba okufanayo. I-Wildlife Authority inikele ngesisa kumaxhoba entlekele yaseBududa kodwa yabonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba ukukhutshwa kweminye imimandla engenelwe ngaphakathi kwipaki yesizwe kufuneka ngoku kuqhubeke ukuphepha iintlekele ezingakumbi, ukubonelela indawo yokuhlala ekhuselekileyo kubantu abahlala ngoku ngokungekho mthethweni, kwaye ngokukhawuleza ukubuyisela ukugquma kwehlathi ngomsebenzi omkhulu wokutyala ngokutsha.
Iingcebiso zeengcali ze-UWA kufuneka zithotyelwe. Ayizange ibe yinto ecingelwayo kwaye ayizange ibekwe ityala kodwa ngenxa yokuxhalabela okusingqongileyo, ukukhuselwa kwenqaba yamanzi ebalulekileyo, ukugcina izinto eziphilayo eziethe-ethe kunye nenkqubo yezinto eziphilayo kunye neendawo ezihlala kuzo kumathambeka eNtaba i-Elgon, kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ukukhusela abantu ukuze kulungelwe bona ekuweleni kweentlekele zemvelo zomlinganiselo ololo hlobo eziphindaphindwayo kwakhona. Ulawulo lwasekhaya kunye norhulumente ophakathi kufuneka ngoku ngokukhawuleza abakhuphe kwaye bahlalise ngokusisigxina abo bahlala ngokungekho mthethweni ngaphakathi kweNtaba i-Elgon National Park kwaye bandise ukusebenza kwamanye amahlathi, iipaki, kunye neendawo zokugcina izilwanyana apho iindawo zokuhlala ezingekho mthethweni ziye zavela ngaphambili kwaye zagcinwa ngookhokho bezopolitiko. kunye nokungenelela kwabo okungacingelwanga kakuhle.
