Leaders in refugee hosting districts of West Nile have renewed demands for solutions to the challenges arising from hosting refugees.
They singled out environmental degradation, exploitation of locals and poor road network as challenges that need immediate attention.
Obongi County MP Hassan Kaps Fungaroo states that the cost-benefit of hosting the refugees remains one-sided adding that government attention should be drawn to the status of roads, business and contracts, the status of employment for locals and mitigation for the negative effects of the refugee settlement on the environment.
His concerns are contained in a letter addressed to the chairperson of the West Nile Parliamentary Forum Bernard Atiku who acknowledged receipt of the letter but said line ministries such as; Trade and Industry, Works and Transport, Disaster Preparedness and Refugees and the Office of the Prime Minister are best positioned to offer satisfactory answers to the challenges raised.
