President Yoweri Museveni has told the people of Kiruhura and Kazo to stop lamenting about bad roads in the districts as the cause of their poverty but instead focus on doing things that will improve their household incomes.
Accompanied by the First Lady, Hon. Janet Kataaha Museveni, the President met farmers and leaders of Kiruhura and Kazo districts at Nswerenkye Primary School in Kiruhura where he called on leaders at all levels to dedicate their energies to income-generating activities that will improve the livelihoods and families of the people they lead.
Poor infrastructure such as the bad road network in the region was among the issues raised by the Kiruhura District Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Jovanice Rwenduru which the President believes is necessary but not an impediment to improving household incomes.
Mr. Museveni said government shall work on all the roads but they should find stable families with improved household incomes.
He noted that good roads have been constructed in many parts of the country to ease the transport of goods and services but they’re instead being misused to dry cassava and maize. He advised those with small pieces of land to venture into activities like poultry and zero grazing that do not require much land. END
