We Won’t Be Distracted From Empowering Ex-Agitators, PAP Assures

The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has said no amount of blackmail would distract the scheme’s focus to empower ex-agitators.
PAP, in a statement personally signed at the weekend by its Interim Administrator, Col. Milland Dixon Dikio (rtd), said its mandate remained to ensure verifiable empowerment of all beneficiaries.
Dikio said in the statement that PAP would not allow anything or anyone to distract it from achieving set tasks.
He said the empowerment would be achieved through the PAP’s Train, Employ and Mentor (TEM) scheme, formation of cooperatives, business clusters, and vocational and allied training programmes.
“The Presidential Amnesty Programme is committed to ensuring the verifiable empowerment of the ex-agitators in all ramifications to fulfil the mandate and purpose of the programme’’, he said.
Dikio, who said the goal was to attain food security and full participation in the blue economy, urged members of the public to respect PAP’s priorities.
He said no form of detraction would deter PAP from achieving its mandate.
