RDC Mbarara, Turyabagyenyi Emmanuel Kateera, has urged the public to support the opening of community roads across their lands, as it enhances the value of land for economic investments. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that these roads have designated reserves for future infrastructure development such as electricity, water systems, and tree planting for environmental conservation.
Kateera made these remarks while overseeing the launch and monitoring of two road projects: the Komuyaga – Kigoro – Mugarutsya road spanning 3.5 km, estimated to cost over 7 million shillings for the sub-county, and the Kanyara road covering 3.6 km, budgeted at over 7.4 million shillings.
During the monitoring exercise, Kateera observed that Komuyaga trading center was plagued by gambling machines known as KOROKORO, which attracted suspected criminals posing a threat to the local business community. In response, he ordered the immediate closure of all KOROKORO gambling machines and instructed community leaders to compile a list of suspected criminals for legal action.
Additionally, Kateera directed the District Police Commander to transfer suspected corrupt police officers from Bubaare sub-county promptly, aiming to restore public trust and order.
Perez, the chairperson of Kabereebere, expressed gratitude to the government for allocating funds through the Road Fund program to rehabilitate impassable roads, particularly benefiting the transportation of agricultural produce like bananas and milk.
The one-day exercise involved participation from various stakeholders, including the executive members of the Bubaare sub-county council, local leaders, and the sub-county chief, Baker Teriyaitu.
