Residents of Rwenchwera in Kihanda Subcounty have demonstrated remarkable unity and resilience after a heavy rainstorm washed away a vital bridge along the Kayaga–Nkambi road, cutting off a key transport route for farmers and traders.
In the wake of the destruction, the local community came together under the traditional spirit of Burungi Bwansi to construct a temporary bridge using locally available materials. This initiative has helped restore limited access between Katete and Kihanda subcounties, as well as the larger Kambuga area.
LC3 Chairperson of Kihanda Subcounty, Mr. Asiimwe Davis, visited the site and praised residents for their quick response and teamwork. He thanked all who participated in the reconstruction and emphasized the importance of unity during crises.
Local leaders including LC1 Chairperson Hope Amanya, Parish Chief Akatwijuka Solomon, and Subcounty Chief Mr. Tindiwegi Justus joined the call for central government intervention to build a permanent bridge, highlighting the road’s critical role in agricultural development and community safety.
Despite the challenges, the people of Rwenchwera remain hopeful that their collective efforts and appeals will lead to lasting infrastructure improvements.
