In the bid to
reduce poverty in
Kasese, the district leadership is embarking most on roads connecting
mountainous
areas. Most of the sub counties like Bwesumbu, Buhuhira, Mahango,
Kyarumba,
Karambi, Ihandiro, Nyakiyumbu and many more have had new roads opened
and well-constructed to connect various places in Kasese District.
Today, the RDC Kasese has yet
commissioned another road that will connect Rukooki and Kilembe sub counties
through the mountains.
This comes after central
government sends funds to the district through the CAAIP project to construct
roads in hard to reach areas. The road starts at Kigoro I Primary School
through the steep mountains to Kilembe Hospital market (Katiri)
The RDC was accompanied by the District
Chairperson, The Vice Chairperson, The Hon. Secretary for works, Hon.
Councilors from Rukoki sub county, the District Engineer, the Assistant
engineers in charge of roads, the sub county chief Rukoki sub county, the LCIII
Chairperson Rukoki sub county and many more officials.
The District chairperson convened
a community dialogue meeting which the leaders were joined by the community
members of Kigoro. A number of issues were addressed and discussed in an
interactive manner where the LCIII Chairperson Mr. Muhindo Yohana Kidwek thanks
the leaders for having come and also talk to the people. He marked a number of
government acheivements over the last three years some of which are; there are
two millers under CDD program, all health centres do receive drugs adequately
and are staffed, they received over 1 million coffee seedlings and have been
planted in different parishes, they have civil servants, teachers and managed
to have have 3 youths recruited in district service from the sub county, staff
quarters were constructed in 2 schools, one health centre in Kigoro, it was
constructed and has drugs to mention but a few. He thanked the district leader
for having fulfilled their pledge of constructing this road. He requested the
RDC and the District chairperson to tell people how to use the blessing to
improve their livelihood and reduce poverty.
Both the RDC and the LCV
Chairperson requested the people to stop marrying many women and make use of
the road to transport their agricultural produce, access health services and
Kilembe hospital and also told them to appreciate the little that government
has done in Kasese compared to other districts.
The contractor also Eng. Waiswa
Richard of AZU Properties Limited requested the people to be cooperative and
