Victims of mysterious fire receive food donation from Bufumbira south legislator

 

The Bufumbira South Member of Parliament, Hon. Alex Niyonsaba yesterday donated beans and maize flour as food relief to the mysterious fire victims of Matarama village in Muramba Sub County.

A family of eight households with about 40 members has been grappling with uncertain mysterious fires and stones for the last two months which has led to loss of property like clothes, mattresses while stones wreck iron sheets, cause panic at night  and sometimes hit people hard causing injuries.

The family members that had resorted to seek refuge in one of the local churches in Gisozi parish was later chased away by church authorities after mysterious fires started gutting their clothes in church.

With continuous prayers, the horrible happenings have recently reduced to at least once in two days and members are sleeping in their houses whose walls have been destroyed by fires and stones.

While delivering 10 Kilograms of beans and 10 Kilograms of maize flour to each household, the political assistant to Hon. Niyonsaba Alex who doubles as the Muramba LCV councillor, Martin Hakizimana commended the legislator for responding fast in supporting the troubled family.

The Muramba sub county LC3 Chairman, Nzabona Francis also applauded Hon. Alex Niyonsaba for his commitment and the will to donate food to the family that has spent two months without peace. He noted that the same legislator has offered fuel to the district to grade the Muramba-Bunagana road.

Family members said that there has been no peace in their homes since one of them returned from Buganda and tempered with his mother's grave yard. They say that they hardly go to gardens as they fear catching fire in isolation but also they fear interacting with the community due to trauma.
