Hon. David Lagen the Agago County MP is concerned about a hailstorm in his area that has destroyed crops, homes, and displaced persons. 'We need the Office of the PM to respond & give the community food items'. #PlenaryUg
In July 2022, hailstorm ravaged more than 10 villages in Agago district
leaving many injured, property and crops destroyed. The rain that lasted for good hours destroyed more than 20 houses.
A heavy storm that poured down destroyed at least 30 acres of crops and several cows, goats and poultry. The hailstorm destroyed the properties in lalal primary school, Adilang Town council, some parts of Orina and Odom respectively. Hon Lagen David Atuka, the Agago County MP, visited the areas and immediately demanded for food relief items from the Office of RT Hon Robinah Nabanja. The affected villages were then given relief food and she closely put an eye on other areas of concern.
Agago legislator said: "Unfortunately ,the affected communities were already hit by Covid - 19 pandemic. This disaster means the victimized could face famine in some months to come because crops were destroyed," he said. I and my team did a rapid assessment and concluded to quickly distribute seeds to those communities including maize, sorghum among others that can mature quickly.
