Minister Wakikona addressing journalists

The government of Uganda has used part of the 79 billion shillings that was directly disbursed to the districts in Northern Uganda for the implementation of the Peace Recovery and Development programmes in those districts to procure 60 hydra form machines for 40 of the PRDP districts.

This comes after earlier this month the government revealed that 54 chiefs had got houses as a benefit of hydra foam technology in Northern Uganda.

The Minister of State for Northern Uganda Reconstruction, David Wakhikona has told journalists in Kampala that a total of 82 houses and 3 Health Centers have been built from hydra form technology in Northern Uganda.

He says now with more Hydra Foam machines being taken to the districts in the North, more houses are likely to be built as result of the technology.

The Minster says the bricks made by Hydra Foam Machines are cheaper, faster and are produced in a more environmentally friendly way.
