Residents of Luweero district have expressed dissatisfaction over the poor state of Kabimbiri-Kikyusa road that has paralyzed transport in the area.

Residents and the business community have decried the bad state of Kabimbiri-Kikyusa-Zirobwe – Kasana road in Luwero District.

Apart from being used by area residents, the road in contention, connects vehicles and business people from Eastern Uganda to Luweero, is a shortcut for those who do not want to pass via Kampala.

It starts from Kabimbiri, Zirobwe and Kikyusa all the way to Luweero Town Council.

Luweero District Chairperson Kibirango Erasto says the road is in such poor state because of the heavy trucks constantly transporting sugar cane from Jinja to Victoria Sugar factory.

“The outcry is because the road has been in bad state, it’s busy mainly because of the sugar factory, in Butuntumula that is Victoria sugar. They are always carrying sugar cane from Jinja side, so that road is busy and you find vehicles also breaking down.”

Erasto also blames the poor road conditions on engineers who he says did not construct it well.

“Another point attributed to the poor condition is the aspect of the engineers, they did not shape the road well.”

He says Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) has tried to work on the roads in the area but this particular one needs special attention.

Apparently, the roads committee comprising of area MPs, the district Chairperson and CAO is yet to have their quarterly meeting to discuss the issue as legislators were busy engaged with the burial of late Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon Jacob Oulanyah at the time.
Erasto noted that they intend to sit soon and explain their road problems to UNRA.
