Namisindwa District LC5 Chairperson Emma Bwayo wants the Ministry of Works and Transport to explain the reason for the delays in compensating residents whose properties were affected by the construction of the Kufu-Lwakhakha road in Namisindwa District.




In a letter dated November 4, 2026, addressed to the Minister of Works and Transport, Bwayo expresses concern over the delayed compensation of residents affected by the construction of the Nabukhuyа, Nambola, Nametsimeru, Tsakhana and Khamitsaru bridges along the Kufu-Lwakhakha road. 


Bwayo says although the project commenced in 2021, with the affected properties assessed for compensation, the residents are yet to receive payment.


He stresses that during a previous engagement, officials from the Ministry of Works and Transport instructed the affected residents to prepare for disclosure of compensation amounts and eventual payment, including opening bank accounts to facilitate the process. But Bwayo notes that the Ministry has since gone silent on the matter. Bwayo says the continued delay has raised concern among the affected communities and could affect the smooth implementation of the project.
