The distribution exercise kicked off on Monday.
However, local leaders have decried the discrepancy in the supply.
The mosquito nets were supposed to be distributed according to the number of people in each household, with one net per two people.
Mr Francis Ayo, the chairperson of Ilera Cell Village, Agulu Division in Apac Municipality, said he was expecting 357 mosquito nets for his area but he received only 142.
“We submitted our data to the Ministry of Health but the supply did not match the data we submitted and many people have missed the nets,” he told Daily Monitor yesterday.
