He also appealed to the community members to continue giving in a helping hand to the victims so that they manage the situation in which they are living in the camp.
While addressing the land victims at the Booma Grounds in Kasese town, IP Joackim Bwakya, who also doubles as the In-charge of Operations in Kasese Municipality, advised the camp occupants to maintain peace as government looks forward to working on their problems.
