Jogo Foundation Empowers Community with Mattress Distribution Initiative for Enhanced Well-being

RUBANDA – Road users along the Ruhonmwa-Kabadama-Nyamazizi road are expressing frustration with the Rubanda district authorities, accusing them of procrastinating in repairing the road damaged by floods at the end of August this year.

The discontent was voiced over the weekend in Kigarama village, Ruhonwa Parish, during the distribution of mattresses among members of the Jogo foundation, Kigarama branch. Notable road users, such as Kyomukama Beatrice and Vincent Mukeine, both residents of Kigarama village, and Barnabas Adyatuzora from Kigarama village in Ruhonwa parish, Hamurwa sub-county, lamented that recent floods had severed the road at a single location in Nyamazizi village.

They emphasized that this disruption is adversely impacting the transportation of agricultural produce to markets and hindering people’s access to essential social services. Furthermore, they accuse the district leaders of neglecting to address and repair the specific section of the road that has collapsed, preventing users from utilizing the entire route.

Pierre Mbabazi Nyetegyereize, the Hamurwa sub-county LC5 councilor, attributed the delayed repairs to the district’s top leaders, alleging that their self-serving political interests are impeding prompt action. He disclosed that he has repeatedly brought the road’s deteriorating condition to the attention of district leaders, only to be met with indifference.
