According to the residents, the heavy rains destroyed about 30 houses and three classroom blocks at Matale government primary school and a church. About 20 other houses are on the verge of collapsing.
The rails are made out of metals, iron bars and concrete. According to Asiimwe the government needs 110 dollars to buy one bar from abroad but a locally manufactured rail can cost 47 dollars. Each kilometer of a railroad takes about 1660 sleepers.
