Angry residents of Bukulugi zone,Masanafu in Rubaga division have appealed to government over food distribution delay.
Residents claim ever since the government decided to distribute door to door food relief to people living in Kampala, they have not received their portion.
Sam Kimbowa, one of the Local Council one leaders in the area said that when the situation worsened, leaders started preparing food for the vulnerable children and families in the area as they are waiting for the food relief from the government but all in vain.
“As leaders in the area after along wait of government food relief,our people in the area have lost hope and they triggered us the leaders to provide food which we did but we have reached at the last point where we are left with no option but three kilograms of rice without sauce.”Kimbowa said.
Most of the residents who spearheaded the demonstration claimed to be taxi conductors and drivers who have spent almost three months without earning anything.
” We were working in our taxis but eversince the Lockdown started we have been home washing hands waiting for government food relief,what did we do in Masanafu other villages have got food.” Angry & hungry Taxi operators said.
By press time, it was lunch time when over 80 residents had gathered in their usual place dubbed “maama muchere” where they get lunch from only to find when the food was not enough for them and they started fighting each other.
