Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes with deep sorrow that a massive landslide down the slope of Mt Elgon in the Bududa district of Uganda wiped out three villages and killed at least 90 people and probably as many as 450 people altogether;
(2) further notes that many of those killed were school children taking refuge in the local hospital;
(3) notes even further the point made by President Museveni that the cutting down of foliage and the clearing of trees had played a significant role in the tragedy; and
(4) expresses its condolences to all afflicted families and shares with all Ugandans a deep sense of sadness and loss.
Agreed to.
