Mr. Johnson Masereka, the project coordinator for Kyalhumba Banywani Tree farmers, a non -governmental organization based in Kasese district has called for touchable interventions to deal with the negative effects of climatic change.
He said the fight for a protected environment requires collective efforts but not left only to government and her development partners as the community members sit back to lament.
Speaking to the press at the Holy Trinity Kyalhumba parish shortly after giving relief aid to landslide victims from the eight camps in Kyalhumba and Kyondo sub counties yesterday, Mr. Masereka was quick to call for joint efforts in protecting echo-systems by planting indigenous bamboo trees among others, along all water sources as a mitigating measure. Mr. Masereka speaking…….
Mr. Yohana, Ms Agnes Kabugho and Mr. Robert Masereka, all elderly local residents from the two subcounties of Kyondo and Kyalhumba, called for direct interventions by the Rwenzururu cultural institution in sensitizing her subjects about the need to protect the environment.
Mr. Benadicto Masereka Maghulinga, the chairperson for Bwitho Internally Displaced People’s camp in Kyalhumba subcounty called for thorough assessment of the recently disaster affected areas before asking the affected people to locate back to their homes, some of which are badly damaged. Mr. Maghulinga speaking…….
About 8000 kilograms of cassava flour were among the food aid to the affected people. END
