Hunger outbreak: People in Luweero district survive on jack fruits

 

A few years back people in Teso sub district and Kayunga were feeding on mangoes and jack fruits to survive, but as you read this, people in Luwero, Nakasongola and adjacent districts are living on jackfruit (ffene) to be able to survive.

A couple of years back I witnessed a very sorry scene near the road branching off to Kiruhura where cows, humans and Impalas were sharing very dirty brown water at different ends of a small pond!

Then president Museveni is bent on selling off Mabira forest even without any attempts at re-forestation anywhere in the country. It seems generations to come they will say that our generation was Uganda’s Amageddon!!!!

The district LC 5 chairman of Luweero district, Hajji Lt. Abudul Nadduli attributes poverty and hunger in Luweero to laziness in some peoples’ homes. He says some of the area residents don’t want to work.
