BUSHENYI, Uganda
Senior leadership in Bushenyi District spent the day conducting a comprehensive monitoring exercise across key road works to ensure quality service delivery and proper utilization of road maintenance releases for the 2025/2026 Financial Year.
The inspection team was led by the Bushenyi Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Emmy Ngabirano, alongside the District Chairperson, Prosper Twebaze, and the Chief Administrative Officer's representative, Hillary Twebaze.
During the field assessment in Kyeizooba Sub-County, the officials inspected the Bwera–Kyamugambira–Rwemitozo road, where seven kilometers have been graded and two kilometers murramed at a total cost of UGX 68 million.

The leaders also monitored ongoing rehabilitation on the Runyinya–Kyeizooba road, covering a five-kilometer stretch of grading and spot murraming across 1.6 kilometers, valued at UGX 53 million. Additionally, work on the Ibaare Trading Center–Nyamahwa Bridge–Kiyaga route was assessed, where 1.9 kilometers of grading and 1.2 kilometers of murraming were completed for UGX 30.2 million.
While evaluating drainage infrastructure along the routes, the monitoring committee identified structural defects in newly installed culverts and directed contractor teams to rectify them immediately.
"Where cracks have developed in the laid culverts, repairs must be done immediately," RDC Ngabirano directed during the site visits. "Engineers must also lay additional culverts in low-lying spots where runoff water still stagnates to prevent early road degradation."
District authorities confirmed that the physical verification of infrastructure projects will resume tomorrow morning across remaining sub-counties.

The infrastructure assessment comes as Bushenyi District prepares to join the rest of the nation on Saturday, July 25, 2026, for the mandatory National Cleaning Day declared by Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja.
The Uganda Police Force has issued a formal directive reminding citizens that the nationwide sanitation drive will take place between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, aimed at improving public health and curbing vector-borne diseases.
To ensure compliance during the three-hour exercise, the police confirmed that strict movement restrictions will be enforced across all urban and rural transit networks.
“During this period, all vehicles, vessels, motorcycles, and bicycles shall not be allowed on the roads and water bodies except in emergency situations,” the Uganda Police Force stated in an official press release. "Traffic movement will be restricted countrywide. Members of the public are encouraged to remain in their areas, take part in the cleaning exercise, and resume normal activities at 10:00 AM.”
Law enforcement authorities clarified that exemptions will apply to emergency medical personnel, specialized transport services, and individuals undergoing scheduled treatment who carry valid documentation.
The initiative mirrors community sanitation frameworks across the region, such as Rwanda's monthly Umuganda program, as Uganda tests the long-term viability of a structured national cleaning exercise.
