Mr. Speaker, Sir, I asked this Question because I am aware that, in the Ministry of Education there is a department of disaster management and millions of money have been allocated to it.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in part (a) of the Question, the Assistant Minister says that no school buildings in Teso District have been condemned by the Ministry of Health.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me first of all thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. This Motion received overwhelming support except for one hon.
