Authorities at Sironko District Local Government are on the spot over funds meant to rehabilitate and maintain roads.


During a monitoring exercise on Wednesday, Budadiri West legislator Nathan Nandala Mafabi was shocked to find that the Sironko District authorities had included the 8.9 km Bukhulo-Nalukuba road in their report of roads allegedly worked on and yet he had personally funded the maintenance works on the road.

The Bukhulo-Nalukuba road in Bukhulo Sub County being listed among the roads maintained by the District authorities angered Nandala. The Sironko District Assistant Engineer Nasusi Charles failed to explain the anomaly.

Accompanied by the Sironko Chief Administrative Officer, Nelson Kirenda, Sironko Resident District Commissioner Dennis Ephraim Balwaniregha and all District Councilors, Nandala said the joint monitoring exercise is to ensure that there is value for money. He said that exercise is part of his oversight role as a legislator.

Sironko LCV Chairperson David Livingstone Giruli admitted challenges with the Engineering Department and promised to ensure improved delivery of services moving forward.
