The transitional process from the Uganda National Roads Authority to the ministry of works and transport, has negatively affected the construction works on the Mpondwe bridge located on the Kikorongo-Mpondwe customs highway in Mpondwe-Lhubiriha town council in Kasese district.
Mr. Moses Mugisa Garçon told Kasese Guide Radio yesterday that whereas there were close engagement between the town council and the phased out UNRA, as well as commendable work on the bridge, the transition process had negatively affected the construction works.
He also said the same challenges had affected the planned works by UNRA on the road diversionary that feeds the Uganda-DR Congo border point as construction works on the bridge commence soon.
Mr. Moses speaking……
The Kasese district councilor for Mpondwe-Lhubiriha town council, Hon. Majidu Ntumeli called for calm now that the bridge requires only the precast concrete bridge deck slab he said may not go beyond March this year. Hon. Majidu speaking……
Hon. Julius Agaba, the area council speaker said the narrow, potty and un protected diversion, was a total risk to lives and property, blaming UNRA for having done less on safety measures on the road. END.
