Residents of Zabanyanya ward in Industrial City Division in Mbale City
used hand held hoes to rehabilitate the four kilometer green pasture-Zabanyanya
road.
The road connects Mbale City centre to
Zabanyanya, Musoto and neighboring Bungokho Sub County in Mbale District.
Michael Wakutusi, a resident of Bugema B
says they resorted to using hoes to work on the road after the Mbale City
authorities ignored repeated reminders about the poor state of the road.
Jackson Mulongo the LCI chairperson for
Bugema cell accuses the City leadership of promising to work on the road in
vain. Mulongo says the promises to work on the road have been made for the last
three years.
At Kampala road in Northern City
Division, the residents struggle to access their homes because of the poor
state of the road especially during the rainy season. Other roads in a poor
state are in Nkoma, Busamaga and Namakwekwe.
But James Kutosi the Mbale City Public
Relations Officer has asked residents to remain calm saying that they are yet
to receive funds for road works from central government.
