Two primary schools in Matungu Sub-county lost equipment meant for the government’s Digital Literacy Programme in a Thursday night burglary.
In the two attacks on Bulimbo RC and Shiyabo primary schools, thugs broke into headteachers' and deputy headteachers' offices and computer laboratories and made away with 15 laptops, two projectors and a printer.

The thugs stole one projector and a printer and destroyed properties and files. The watchman was interrogated by the police and released.
