In the absence of the committees’ chairperson, Hon. Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, today’s closed-door meeting was chaired by Hon. Eng Niyonsaba Alex, also known as Seruganda, the Member of Parliament for Bufumbira South. Hon. Seruganda announced that the committee has reached a consensus to initiate roadworks starting next month to ensure timely utilization of the allocated funds.
He highlighted that the committee has endorsed and approved all work plans, focusing on both municipal and district roads for the upcoming fiscal year. Priority, he mentioned, will be accorded to roads situated in areas that are not prone to waterlogging, aiming to mitigate the adverse impacts of the ongoing rains. He commended the government for the approval of the additional one billion shillings for the road fund, emphasizing its positive impact on the district’s historically underfunded roads sector.
