Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Masaka are investigating circumstances under which a house collapsed on Friday morning, killing a seven-year-old girl and injuring six others.<\/p>\n

The deceased, Mayimuna Nansamba, was a resident of Mukudde Cell, Nyendo-Mukungwe Division in Masaka city.<\/p>\n

Yusuf Kayongo, a neighbor to the affected rentals, narrated that he heard debris falling and ran to see what had happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt around 6am, it was raining so heavily when I heard something falling. I ran so fast and started rescuing people who were hit by the bricks. Unfortunately the child had already died,\u201d Mr Kayongo said.<\/p>\n

The building also injured 6 people including Mariam Nalwanga, Aisha Nakalema Milly Ndagire, Sharon Nabisaso, Yasin Bukenya and a three-year-old only identified as Brighton.<\/p>\n

This is the second building to collapse in the same zone of Mukudde in this week.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 25-year-old Betty Nabalongo died instantly after she was smashed by a perimeter wall of Centenary High school.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Mukudde zone LCI chairperson Godfey Ndugwa attributed the incidents to lack of proper drainage systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rain is too much yet the water cannot move through the right direction, it always collects on the houses which continue to weaken thus causing the accidents,\u201d Ndugwa told this reporter.<\/p>\n

Further, Ndugwa appealed to the leadership of the city to inspect houses so that authorities direct landlords or homeowners to rehabilitate them.<\/p>\n

Residents who spoke on Friday said that they have a problem with landlords who ask for monthly payment yet they do not do house maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur leaders should give strict guidelines to such landlords,\u201d multiple on-scene interviewees said.<\/p>\n

Southern Uganda police spokesperson SP Twaha Kasirye asked the tenants to thoroughly check rentals before entering them.<\/p>\n

By press time, the youngster\u2019s body had been taken to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital for postmortem as survivors also sought treatment in health facilities around the city.<\/p>\n
