On Sunday 18th August 2024, the KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka mobilised her KCCA management team to visit the survivors at the Emergency Response centre. The visit was preceded by prayers first by the Catholic faith and then the Anglican faith and then a luncheon.
They gathered in the tent and joined in singing and prayers as they were led by the local vicar. In her remarks, Kisaka commiserated with the survivors and expressed heart felt condolences, saying we must hold onto faith in this storm. The survivors huddled around Kisaka as she hugged them and let them cry freely and listened to their survival stories. There are 266 survivors gathered todate. Thirty five bodies have been recovered and eighteen people were rescued alive from the rubble
