The Office of the Prime Minister has launched the resettlement of landslide victims in the Elgon sub-region in Giriki, Kween District. Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja was the Chief guest at the event and called for proper use of the funds given to the victims.
Each verified household will receive a Shs10 million grant (not a loan) + 2 acres of land to rebuild with dignity.
State Minister for Refugees Relief and Disaster Preparedness Hon. Lillian Aber said the launch is part of government’s broader plan targeting over 10,000 households in high-risk areas.
“We urge beneficiaries to use these funds prudently for a secure future. While voluntary, it is concerning that some communities are declining due to cultural/religious reasons. We call on all to take early warnings seriously and cooperate,” Hon. Lillian Aber said.
