MP Auma said the women were drawn from the 21 villages in Aromo Sub County to engage in. various wealth creation programs being championed by the government.
“Today I’m giving 1298 households in the 21 villages odoro aluminum saucepans, which each cost Ugx25,000. This will enhance our environmental protection campaign,” said MP Auma.
