Ten pupils were on Tuesday evening hospitalised in Teso after lightning struck their school.
The pupils from Aedomoru Primary School in Teso North were admitted to Kocholya district hospital after sustaining injuries during the incident that occurred at 4pm during a heavy downpour.
The school's headteacher Robert Atedu said lightning struck as the pupils sheltered in one of the classes.
At the time of the incident, classes had ended and the pupils were waiting for the rain to subside before going home.
Lightning strikes are common in the area and the worst incident happened at Korisai primary school after a similar strike left seven pupils dead.
Funyula MP Paul Otuoma was among leaders from Busia who visited the pupils in hospital on Tuesday night.
"This is not the first incident to happen here," he said.
"Urgent measures should be put in place to instal lightning arrestors to limit such occurrences in future."
He donated Sh20,000 to the school to shoulder the medical bill of the affected pupils.
The incident happened at Angurai South Ward represented by Busia County Assembly Deputy Speaker Moses Ote.
He said he will lobby MCAs to pass a Motion that seeks to ensure all schools in the county get lightning arrestors.
