Researchers and Disaster management specialists are blaming government through the Ministry of Disaster preparedness, for failure to set up measures to fight against disasters, before they happen which has led to an increase of losing several Ugandans.

This was raised on Thursday during the public policy dialogue on management of disaster in Uganda that was held at Uganda Management Institute (UMI) conference hall in Nakawa-Kampala, organized by UMI in partnership with the cabinet Secretariat sponsored by African Leadership Institute, (AFLI).

The dialogue was attended by journalists from different media houses nationwide, Researchers, Disaster management specialists, officials from the ministry of disaster preparedness and other academicians.

Researchers who include; Dr Ndebesa Mwambutsya a lecturer at Makerere University, Prof Tobias Onweng Angura, Odak Asuman and Disaster management specialists like Dr Sylvester Kugonza among others say that, government through ministry of disaster Preparedness has only responded whenever there is a disaster using an example of the recent disaster of Bududa that left many dead others displaced and also the recent drowning of people at lake Victoria, but nothing has been done to protect such disasters before they happen.

They said that there should be massive community sensitization to locals about preventive measures and responses to the disasters,and a Vail research funds to undertake risk mapping and also start sponsoring disaster management dramas in schools and hold talk shows and skits on radios.

In his response during the dialogue, the State Minister of Disaster preparedness Hon Musa Francis Ecweru blamed the Ministry of Finance, for not financing the ministry of disaster preparedness whenever there are no disasters.

In Bushenyi

West Ankole diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Johnson Twinomujuni has revealed that the church has provided whatever is necessary for seed school to be constructed at Kabushaho but not Kigurusi as politicians are agitating.

He noted that we are in charge therefore no one can take the school away, we have give away land at kabushaho and its title however politicians have hijacked the project but for us we are prepared and in charge of all the activities at Kabushaho.

He said this late yesterday 30^th2018at katungu mothers union while conducting a fellowship and press conference of journalists from greater Bushenyi and greater Mbarara.

Before, there has been a sharp conflict between councilors, political leaders over the location of a 1.6 billion seed school for Bumbaire Sub County in Bushenyi district.

Kabushaho secondary school was closed in 1992 by the then minister of education Col.Amanya Mushega but was fortunately restarted by Michael Mawanda in 2011.

Kabushaho is under West Ankole Diocese so Mawanda and the diocese have heavily funded its existence.

The sub county council passed a resolution in 2011that if government at one time wants to give Bumbaire Sub County a government aided secondary school; it should give it to Kabushaho secondary school.

Jafari Bassajabalaba,Patrick Kizito and some councilors have resolved to take the school to kigurusi land but failed to proiduce a tile for the land they ae interested in.
