President Museveni has directed the Minister of Transport Gen Katumba Wamala to start investigations into Mukono Katosi Nyenga Road which has started developing potholes barely two years after construction.

Speaking at the 38^th NRM/A Victory Day anniversary in Jinja, President Museveni said he took keen interest after locals narrated to him about the shoddy works, leaving the road in a sorry state.

“That new road from the bridge to Mukono through Buikwe was finished two years ago but potholes have already started developing. I had not paid attention to them [potholes] but when they told me I saw some between Nyenga and the bridge. I want Gen Katuba to check that road and find out what happened because we have just finished construction,” Museveni said on Friday.

Meanwhile, President Museveni has revealed that government will soon kick off a new campaign to educate children from low-income families.

“As we commemorate the 38th Anniversary of NRM’s victory, I want to assure everybody including our visitors and investors that Uganda will remain a peaceful, secure and prosperous country,” he said.

The president said his government will focus on offering free education, provision of healthcare services, and creating opportunities for wealth creation and jobs for the young people in the country.

A total of 53 personalities were decorated and awarded with medals in recognition of their contribution to the liberation struggles in the country.

At least 800 dignitaries including foreign diplomats and thousands of ruling party members and supporters attended the celebrations, according to the national organizing committee.
