Addressing a news conference today in Kampala, the minister asked all Ugandans living in mountainous, low laying areas to vacate to safer areas as government will also extend a helping hand to them from where they relocate.
He further advised farmers to grow long term maturing crops at the start of the season and later follow them with short term maturing crops adding that this will help them harvest a good amount of yields at the end of the season.
