According to the Daily Monitor, Amolatar District leaders and MPs met the Parliamentary Committee on Climate Change at Acii Primary School and asked the government for relief aid, temporary resettlement and compensation for residents displaced by rising Lake Kyoga and Lake Kwania waters. Kyoga County MP Geoffrey Ocen said a submerged road through Ocomboli Swamp has cut off eight villages and more than 3,000 households. Committee chairperson Aggrey Bagiire said the committee would report the leaders' demands to Parliament.
