Kumi Municipality Roadworks Monitoring Program Underway


by kenneth wamatoyi . 


In the company of Kumi Municipality's technical and political leaders, we initiated a monitoring program to evaluate the progress of works on 12 roads, which received a portion of the 1 billion shillings allocated by the central government. This marks the beginning of our comprehensive monitoring program, which will eventually encompass 30 roads rehabilitated using the 1 billion shillings.


During the inspection, Kumi RDC Ahamadah Washaki identified certain areas where the works fell short of expected standards, and he  directed the engineers to promptly address these deficiencies.


The funds invested in these roadworks were made possible by a commitment from H.E. Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda and NRM National Chairman, to upgrade road infrastructure in accordance with the NRM Manifesto 2021-2026 implementation.
