Bunyangabu District leadership led by the Deputy RDC, Mr Robert Kamuntu, has launched the mechanised maintenance of Lyengumba-Kyamiyaga-Kisomoro Road which measures 9.2km. 

The scope of work includes re-grading and shaping of the entire road length, compacting to appropriate levels and spot gravelling, all of which is expected to last one month.

 In his speech, Mr Kamuntu challenged the community members to engage in income-generating activities so as to benefit from the road.

 "It will be unfortunate to have a standard road yet community members have nothing to transport through it. Kindly engage in commercial farming so that your household incomes improve because of this road," he said. 

 The District Roads Engineer, Mr Wilson Mutegeki, noted that the works will cost Shs 96million and called upon community members to apply for casual jobs and be paid wages for their services.

 Hon Alex Twinomuhwezi, the District Vice Chairperson, asked parents to take care of their children during the time of implementing the project to avoid accidents. 

"We call upon the community to supervise the implementing team and monitor the progress of the projects so as to achieve desired results and also desist from practices that spoil the road carriageway such as, roadside grazing, encroachment of the road reserves among others," Hon Twimuhwezi said. 

Hon Amon Rutenta, the Secretary for Works, Natural Resources and Security Committee, called for vigilance within the community members to ensure proper use of fuel and road equipment.

This project will be implemented using force account by Bunyangabu district local Government roads and Engineering staff, and will be jointly supervised by both political and technical teams together with the benefiting community.
