Following the outcry from residents of Nyarwimuka parish in Ruhinda Sub County regarding the poor condition of their road from Kyomera to Kakoni, which is owned by the district, renovation and rehabilitation efforts have commenced.
This road serves as a crucial link between Ruhinda and Bwambara Sub Counties through Nyarwimuka parish. Gershom Murera, the LC2 chairperson of Nyarwimuka parish, confirmed the ongoing road works, emphasizing the necessity of applying murram after rehabilitation. He pointed out that their clay soils make the roads slippery and prone to erosion, and adding murram would help maintain the road for a longer period. Murera also stressed the need to address other feeder roads in similarly poor conditions in the area.
Isaac Kaharuza, political assistant to Rt Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi, the legislator for Rujumbura County and Minister of Security, mentioned that the district’s road machinery is currently in Rujumbura to maintain various roads, including the previously mentioned Nyarwimuka road and others across different districts.
Kaharuza further informed that the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) is preparing to initiate the rehabilitation of the Kasoroza-Kigaaga-Birara road, connecting Rukungiri and Kanungu districts, alongside other road projects.
