Each health centre received 10 mattresses, 10 blankets, and 10-bed sheets while Soroti Regional Referral Hospital received 100 blankets and 100 bed sheets.
Achieng told voters that if they vote for the NRM candidate she will make sure that all the wards in Soroti City East get health centers. Ogwang told voters that they are going to pitch camp in Soroti City until the campaigns are done on July 28, 2022.
