Uganda’s community vice-chairperson of Badaru Freda said the council will meet every two months to monitor activities of the illegal immigrants, Easter Radio reported.
She said the council would help communities resolve their problems amicably through county authorities support.
Yei River County Commissioner Juma David Augustine said all the foreign communities will chair the council in a periodical and rotational way.
