PM Nabbanja outlines response to drought in Karamoja, hunger in Greater North and water shortages

In Parliament, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja said Karamoja had suffered severe drought, with some areas receiving no rain since April, after Agago County MP Edward Makmot warned of a hunger crisis in the Greater North. She said a Cabinet paper had been prepared, quick-maturing seeds would be promoted, and available water bowsers would be deployed to water-stressed communities and pastoralists in cattle corridors.
