The residents of Rwenshekye village in Rubanga Parish Buyanja Sub County Rukungiri district have received a ten thousand capacity water tank as a donation from Hon. Midius Natukunda Kaharata, the Rukungiri Woman Member of Parliament.

The contribution is a component of Hon. Natukunda Midius Kaharata’s endeavor to resolve the issue plaguing the Rukungiri district’s water and sanitation industry.

According to Hon. Natukunda Midius, since the residents of Rwenshekye Cell are hilly and have to travel great distances to find water in valleys, she made the decision to give them the storage tank, which was positioned at Rwesheshe market, to help them store water, stating that water is essential for life.

Natukunda went on to claim that she is honoring her promise to fight for improved services for her people in the general elections in 2021.

At the handover ceremony, Buyanja Sub County Chairperson LC3 Mr. Agaba Emmy Rubondo stated that the government had promised to provide piped water from the Kahengye Water project, but this was in vain, adding that Rubanga Parish faces a challenge of water scarcity due to its hilly location.

Agaba did, however, commend Hon. Midius Kaharata, the woman Member of Parliament for Rukungiri district, for considering her people and providing a 10,000-liter water tank as a backup plan to help the locals survive.
