The presence of arms in wrong hands is cancer in these states, says Presidential Advisor on Military Affairs.
Daniel Awet Akot describes the illegal guns in Lakes States as major problem, Radio Good News reports.
He says there is need for more conferences to address the culture of violence among youth.
Advisor Awet believes peace is a process and the responsibility of the national government and those at the grass root level.
He applauds the three governors of greater Lakes State for working as a team in order to bring peace and stability to the people of the region.
