BUSHENYI – Following the heavy rains that badly affected platantions and property in Bitooma and Kakanju Subcounties, Bushenyi district Woman Member of Parliament Hon Katusiime Annet Mugisha has donated sorted relief items to the affected families.
The heavy rain characterised by strong winds and hail storms earlier this month hit many villages in various Sub- counties of Igara West destroying gardens, banana plantations, houses and killing some animals leaving the area with limited sources of income and food , a sign of prolonged hunger and poverty.
This website independently visited Kibingo Central, Kyamasira, Kasanda, Rushinya, Kyamamari and Katunga in Kakanju Sub County where our reporters reveal that the situation is very worse since gardens and most banana plantations were left down. Most of the affected people are crying for help from government since they have nothing to cook in their families.
On Monday 24th September 2024, Hon Annet Mugisha flanked by district leadership visited Katunga Kigondo Nombe and Rushinya before giving out maize seeds to the families so that they can plant them as they look for other ways to solve the problem.
Hon Annet Mugisha revealed that her and district leaders including Chairman LC5 Jaffari Basajjabalaba have alreadý informed the Office of the Prime Minister about the loss and are waiting for feedback thus asking the locals to keep calm since their leaders are working day and night to get for them the neccessary help.
Some other responsible Citizens including Igara West aspiring Member of Parliament Katushemererwe Brenda also visited some of the affected villages and shared with locals who together with her were looking for possible ways of getting other sources of income as the situation normalises though at a predicted lower pace.
End.
