Expressing gratitude for government support, Wakaze highlighted ongoing efforts to rehabilitate numerous district roads, citing the current project to refurbish the Bukanga – Bumanha – Nawampiti to Buwala road in Irongo Sub County. He credited the government’s allocation of 1 billion Ugandan shillings towards addressing road infrastructure challenges and affirmed the commitment to completing all road rehabilitation projects within the stipulated timeframe.
