The rain destroyed houses in Mukura and Tumba sectors of Huye district. <\/p>\n
The said water drainage channel was built by contractors building a road linking Rango and Sahera through which water from Tumba and Mukura sectors flows.<\/p>\n
When it rains heavily, flooding from the drainage channel destroys properties belonging to surrounding residents. <\/p>\n
A census has reported that the rain left 10 houses destroyed, three fences collapsed and ravaged Nyarumanga road located in Mitsinda village, Buhoro cell of Karama sector. Flooding also destroyed a bridge, washed away a cow and injured two people. <\/p>\n
Bampire Maria, a resident from Agakombe village, Rango cell of Mukura sector narrated how disasters left her in losses. <\/p>\n
\u201cFlowing water has destroyed my houses and washed away my cow. The drainage channel has many bends, one being nearby my residence. I told them to flatten it but kept the bends,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Valuables inside these houses including beddings, clothes, casseroles, sanitary items among others were also destroyed. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am left with bare hands because all properties are washed away,\u201d said Musanabandi Nadia. <\/p>\n
The mayor of Huye district, Sebutege Ange along with other local leaders have visited affected families and promised support. <\/p>\n
