Isingiro District Woman Member of Parliament Clare Mugumya has asked the office of the Prime Minister to rescue people in Ngarama and Mbaale Sub counties that are stranded after their houses and gardens were destroyed by heavy rains a few days ago.

Speaking in parliament yesterday, Hon Mugumya revealed that the rains characterized by hailstorms destroyed over 18 residential houses and hectares of gardens in the area, destroyed churches like Kagaaga Catholic Church, Kagaaga Pentecostal Church and Burungamo Pentecostal Church.
