According to Awas, the most affected parishes are Kamaturu and Nathinyonoit in Lorengedwat subcounty, Kothike and Nakayoit in Kasike Subcounty, Arengesiep in Nabilatuk Subcounty and Lokaala parish in Nabilatuk Subcounty.
"With the information I have received from both the CAO of Nabilatuk and on ground from people, for the last two days over 300 goats have been swept away by these raging floods in these six parishes," Awas said.
" The district is compiling a report on the gravity of the problem, but should not wait for the report but rather swing in action to save the people's lives."
According to the MP, it's not only Nabilatuk but also other districts in Karamoja including Amudat have been affected by these raging floods.
"However, it's good that no report of death of people has been reported in these affected areas."
