BULAMBULI
The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) on Thursday afternoon, 12th December, 2024 delivered a consignment of clothes, jackets, and shoes to victims of the Bulambuli landslides currently sheltering at the Bunambutye Resettlement Centre.
The donation was handed over by Wokuri Madanda, the FDC Deputy President in charge of Eastern Uganda. Wokuri noted that the items were collected from supporters and well-wishers.
Twala Aramazan, the Assistant Chief Administrative Officer of Bulambuli and the district’s focal person for disasters, expressed gratitude to the FDC for their timely support and urged other well-wishers to extend similar assistance.
This comes a day after Prime Minister Robinah Nabanja, during a leaders’ meeting in Maluku, Mbale, launched a resettlement program. The initiative, valued at over UGX 50 billion, aims to permanently resettle more than 1,000 people in Bunambutye to mitigate further loss of life.
