“Recently a billion was released for maintaining your district roads, why is the opposition not talking about this, are they blind? Kindly don’t succumb to their comical propaganda,” the message added.
Kintu therefore asked the wanainchi to demand accountability from their leaders and follow up on all the funds released by the government to their district, saying this is the only way ‘kawukumi’ will be curbed.
