Residents in Kiryanga and Pacwa sub-counties in Kagadi district are stranded without shelter and food following the strong downpour characterized by wind that washed away over 50 houses yesterday.

The downpour that started midnight also left down churches and food crops.

The most hit villages are Kyabasara, Kikuda B, Kikunda A in Pacwa sub-county and Kikonda, Kisegu and Nyamiringa in Kikonda parish Kiryanga sub-county.

The affected residents that spoke to KAGADI TV UG have decried for quick government and leaders’ intervention to go and rescue them.

Among the destroyed churches includes Nyamiringa, Kikonda and Kigana C.O.U in Rusekere parish and Christians says have injected a lot of their money to construct the churches adding that don’t think if they will manage to re-construct the destroyed houses of God.

Albert Kwizera the LCIII Pacwa sub-county said after realizing the shock he informed fellow leaders to contact the ministry of disaster and preparedness to rush to the area to save the stranded residents.
