Nuns appeal for cattle
ISINGIRO-Nuns of Kyabirukwa convent have appealed to the Government to restock their cattle that were eaten by Amin’s soldiers during the 1979 war. Superior General Sr. Romina Nyemera said by the time they were attacked, they had the biggest number of cattle in the area. The appeal was contained in a speech delivered by the sisters during the commissioning of Kyabirukwa staff house on Friday. The house will accommodate the nuns who work at Kyabirukwa Health Centre III. State minister for animal industry Bright Rwamirama presided over the function. He hailed the nuns for establishing schools and health units.
