AMURU - Bicentina Alal and her husband Tito Okema, the couple that lost their money in Kali-Kali village, Layima sub-county, Amuru district to termites have been supported with pesticides to kill the insects.

“We have been saving our money in a metallic case for over 3 years and it was safe. This was until a month ago when we opened the metallic case and saw a mound of mud that resembled a termite colony and we found our money in tatters and was barely recoverable,” said the couple.

However, the General Manager Quality Chemicals Limited, Ajay Mahadik handed over bottles of termite control treatment, Termidor along with a donation of sh1.6m to the duo.

Speaking at the handover session, Ajay said that the company decided to step in to donate because community is central to their culture as a company.

“Quality Chemicals Limited has for all the 24 years of its existence been a community first company. We care for the health and safety of our community and that is why we saw the need to step in and provide financial aid, but even more pertinently, provide a longer lasting solution to Alal’s ordeal,” stated Ajay.

Tito Okema said he was elated that a company in the caliber of Quality Chemicals Limited could extend a hand of assistance to their issue.

“I thank Quality Chemicals Limited for providing a long-lasting solution to our termite problem. We hope that we don’t have to get into the news again over losing money to termites,” said Okema.
