Mr. Oguti said: “We are receiving 12 classroom, 8 teachers houses, 10 stances of latrines, 216 desks distributed in the two schools and 8km road in Katum. This is because of the good working relationship between Uganda and the USA, we must appreciate, as we celebrate 60 years of relationship with the people of America.”

“Government is committed in providing services to you our people but you must maintain what you are receiving today because we don’t have resources to get back here in a near future with challenges.”
