The
government has finally released 500 Million Shillings for the renovation of
Maziba Primary School.
The
structures that include seven classroom blocks, head teacher’s office,
staffroom, and store were destroyed by landslides in May 2020. However, there
was no intervention from the government leaving teachers and parents uncertain
if the school will reopen.
Parents
accused the government of delaying to intervene. When schools reopened on Monday,
the administration opted to use structures of the nursery section and the
nearby resource room of Bukinda Core-Primary Teachers College Bukinda as
classrooms.

however says that they will have to seek guidance from relevant authorities
whether the district should look for a contractor or wait for Uganda Peoples
Defense Forces (UPDF) Engineering department to take over the works.
