Kotido district deputy RDC Lukooki John Magezi has called for patience from the iron sheets beneficiaries over the distribution of the iron sheets, as the await resources to facilitate the distribution process.

Last week the Prime Minister flagged off iron sheets meant for the reformed Karachunas and vulnerable people in Karamoja region, with Kotido district receiving its first batch on Tuesday.

Magezi says the district has so far received 8080 pieces of iron sheets out of the intended 17,316 pieces of iron sheets.

He adds that the distribution of the said iron sheets might stall a little due to financial constraints but says they are awaiting disbursement of 6 million shillings from the office of the prime minister to district so as to facilitate the distribution exercise.

Magezi however says the district distribution team is on standby and once the money is released, beneficiaries will be notified through their sub county authorities.
