The Narrative Brief presented to H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda and KAPATU Founding Chancellor, Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is both a historical reflection and a declaration of transformation. It chronicles the long, complex, and redemptive journey of the Karamojong people from cultural resistance of formal education, symbolized by the rejection and ‘burying of the pen’ in Akwapowa-Nadunget-Matheniko of Moroto in 1911 and Lomukura-Losilang-Jie of Kotido in 1942, to intellectual renaissance of embracing formal education symbolized by the ‘Unearthing the Pen’ in November 1995, culminating in the November 2025, establishment of the Karamoja Peace and Technology University (KAPATU) — a monumental institution that symbolizes the triumph of peace, education, and national unity under Your Excellency’s visionary leadership.
