Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Reactions as old news of Patrick Okumu-Ringa who destroyed 10 boreholes he built for his constituents, after he lost a Parliamentary election.
Ugandan Politician, Patrick Okumu-Ringa destroyed 10 boreholes he built for his constituents, after he lost a Parliamentary election.
The boreholes supplied water to residents for 20 years.
He said they took his kindness for granted. The boreholes have been a major source of water supply for residents in Nebbi Municipality, a district in northern Uganda, for over two decades, local media reported.
Patrick Okumu-Ringa was reported to have dismantled around 10 boreholes earlier in the week and told locals to find another source of water.
“Our people are not appreciative. All I wanted from them was votes. I have educated so many children, but all they tell me is I have done nothing,” Okumu-Ringa was reported as saying in the newspaper.
When CNN contacted Okumu-Ringa for a comment, his representative said he was not immediately available as he was unwell.
Water is not a readily available natural resource for many Ugandans. Around 24 million Ugandans cannot access suitable water for drinking and sanitation, according to estimates from the American developmental aid organization.
