Bubulo East legislator John Musila has sounded the alarm over growing cracks in Namisindwa District, specifically in the subcounties of Bukokho, Bumbo, and Bumbo Town Council.
According to Musila, the widening cracks pose a significant threat to the lives of residents, prompting him to urge the Office of the Prime Minister to intervene immediately.
"Hundreds of families are living under threat," Musila emphasised. "The situation is dire, and we need urgent action to prevent any loss of life."
Musila is calling for the preparation of evacuation centers to ensure residents' safety in case of emergencies. "We cannot afford to wait until it's too late," he stressed. "The government must act now to protect our people."
The legislator's concerns come amid reports of similar disasters in other parts of the country. Recently, heavy rains in Moyo District displaced over 100 families and destroyed hundreds of acres of farmland.
The Office of the Prime Minister has yet to respond to Musila's plea. However, with the lives of hundreds of families hanging in the balance, swift action is crucial to prevent a catastrophe
