I am going to sit with the rulers of the communities, the Mushere Development Association and church leaders so that the support we provide will contribute to rebuilding the community. We will also look at how to support those with medical conditions.

Beyond immediate relief, Professor Yilwatda pledged support for the reconstruction of houses destroyed in the Kawel community attack. He announced plans for consultations with traditional rulers, the Mushere Development Association, and church leaders to ensure transparency and effective resource deployment for the rebuilding process.
