NABILATUK: A total of 70,000 people of Lorengedwat, Natapar Arengan and Juju in Nabilatuk district have asked for investigations into the failed water systems that has made several households in the district share water sources with animals.
In the financial year 2020- 2021, the ministry of water and environment released about Shs2billion to Nabilatuk district to construct clean piped water for four trading centers however, all the four systems have failed to work.
The systems are located in areas such as Lorengedwat sub county, Natapar Arengan, Natapar Akwanga and Nabilatuk town council.
A visit by this website to one of the sites in Lorengedwat, noted that armed cattle rustlers now take advantage of the built tank where they climb up and enter inside the tank hiding as they do survey for where to go and raid.
