Ms. Sylivia Twinomugisha Katimbira, the LC3 Chairperson of Western Division, Rukungiri Municipality, has urged residents to view feeder roads as transportation routes and opportunities for income generation.
Speaking today, Wednesday, 14th August 2024, at the opening of the newly constructed Ruruku-Kibale road in Karangaro West Ward, Sylvia highlighted the potential of feeder roads for boosting the marketability of agricultural products and enhancing commercial housing for plot owners and vendors. She emphasized that these opportunities should be fully utilized.
Residents united through communal efforts, opened this new road, which spans from Ruruku Catholic Church, crosses through Kagarama and Kibale cells, and connecting to the Bwooma-Masya main road, thereby improving the local road network.
Division Councilors Karuhura Atananzio, the Disability Representative and Secretary for Works, Production, and Social Services, along with Topher Akatwihayo, a member of the Finance Committee, praised the residents for donating their land to support development and for creating a shortcut to the Division headquarters, Ruruku Catholic Church, and the trading center.
Area Councilors Enock Karuhura and Gloria Tumubwine commended the residents for willingly signing consent forms and participating in the communal work. They also called on division authorities to promptly provide the promised grader with road leveling, noting that only one individual had changed his mind about the project.
Vereriano Nkabigumira Mashahure expressed his gratitude for the road construction and urged Division authorities to expedite the provision of the grader. He also advocated for government prioritization of roads, water, and electricity as essential pillars of development.
Frank Turyahikayo, the LC1 Chairperson of Kibale Cell, committed his community to the next communal work scheduled for Saturday and expressed enthusiasm about the new road’s potential to improve the transport network for their products, including bricks, sand, stones, firewood, coffee, bananas, and more.
