Presidential candidate Museveni attributed some delays in infrastructural development to failure of prioritisation by Members of Parliament who are charged with the role of allocating funds.
"The appropriation of funds to non-priority sectors over roads, electricity, railways and other economic enablers has gross negative macroeconomic implications for the entire country, and I have rallied Members of Parliament to act according to the priority schedule guided by the NRM manifesto," President Museveni said.
He confirmed the reconstruction of several tarmac roads in and through Bunyangabu District and said that Uganda's poverty eradication strides are significantly paying off, and he has rallied the people of Bunyangabu District to intensify their efforts in the proposed viable economic enterprises as listed in the NRM manifesto.
