@102megafm: "IS OKTOBERFEST CANCELLED?" Mayor Gunya & Gulu City Council Reply to Alfred Okwonga 💣🎙️🏙️🍺🇺🇬 The debate over the second edition of the Gulu City Oktoberfest (scheduled for October 3–12, 2026, at Kaunda Parade Grounds) has triggered major discussions across Gulu City and Northern Uganda. The Cancellation Call by Former Mayor Alfred Okwonga:Former Gulu City Mayor Alfred Okwonga—who launched the inaugural festival—publicly called for the festival to be called off. Okwonga cited: • Lack of essential security clearance from the Inspector General of Police (IGP). • Incomplete regulatory approvals from Gulu City Council.• Financial and logistical constraints stemming from reduced donor sponsorships. • A plea for organizers to refund local vendors who paid for exhibition spaces rather than risking operational complications. Mayor Julius Acire (Gunya) & Gulu City Council Response:Incumbent Gulu City Mayor Julius Acire Labeja (Gunya) and Town Clerk Innocent Ahimbisibwe directly clarified the administrative position of Gulu City Council:• No Direct Cancellation: City authorities dismissed claims that the festival had been flatly blocked or cancelled.• Security & Public Health Mandate: Due to the event drawing thousands of attendees—including international visitors—organizers (Rotary Club of Gulu) must present verified security clearances, health protocols, and sanitation plans.• Required Stakeholder Appraisal: Gulu City Council required an official review meeting uniting organizers, security agencies, health officials, and local hotel/business owners to evaluate last year's event and fix past logistical challenges before issuing final operational approval. While Okwonga urges caution over financial and security risks, Mayor Gunya’s administration maintains that compliance with city regulations and security protocols remains the key factor for approval. 💬 Key Questions to Consider:• Should the Gulu City Oktoberfest proceed once Rotary completes the security appraisal?• How can Gulu City balance international cultural tourism with local safety and vendor protection?👇 What’s your take?

Oktoberfest was originally organised by former Mayor Okwonga, I understand very well as new leadership entered and don't be surprised if next year something with different name c9mes up but with same activities 😀 it's just politics 🙄
