Kasese District local government working with the Office of the prime minster has temporarily resettled more than 1500 persons who were displaced by the floods and landslides to Muhokya Sub County.
In May up to 1,500 people were displaced when major rivers including Nyamwamba and Mubuku burst their banks washing away gardens, homes, and key infrastructure across the district.
In Kanyangeya, people were displaced by the rising waters from underground.
Most of the displaced have been hosted by schools and churches in Kanyangeya, Maliba, Karusandara, Bwesumbu, Kitholhu, among others.
