> THE Government will pay school fees for children in post primary schools

in
> the north.
>
> Lt Gen. Moses Ali, the Minister of Disaster Preparedness, told Parliament
> yesterday that the fees would be paid initially for a period of two years
> with each child receiving between sh150,000 to sh200,000.
>
> He was presenting a statement on the Government's efforts to address the
> humanitarian situation in northern Uganda.
>
> However, the sessional committee on social services responsible for
> scrutinising the Ministry of Education budget said if the arrangement was
to
> be implemented in the next financial year, there was no budget for it.
>
> Parliament on April 8, 2004 requested the Government to provide more
> information on activities being done to alleviate the situation in the IDP

relief
> food, sh300m for resettlement and over sh13.67m for security roads.
>
> He said the main challenge to improve the situation was insecurity. He
said
> this had complicated and slowed down interventions and restricted field
> assessment visits outside the towns.
>
> "Improving the living conditions of the IDPS is also another challenge.
The
> congestion in the camps has resulted into poor sanitation, persistent
> overcrowding at water sources, environmental degradation and high risk of
> fire outbreaks," he said.
>
> The House, however, deferred the debate on the statement until the select
> committee probing the humanitarian situation in northern Uganda finalises
> its report.
>
> The Deputy Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga, directed the Clerk to Parliament to
make
> financial arrangements to enable the committee travel to northern Uganda
to
> assess the situation.

> Ali said the emergency situation in the north and parts of east was so
> complex but the Government had planned to address it through several
> strategies.
>
> He said the conflict in northern Uganda was a combination of the LRA
rebels
> and the armed cattle rustling stretching from Kitgum to Kapchorwa in the
> East and within Karamoja sub-region.
