Residents of Karangura Sub-county in Kabarole District have said failure by government to work on their roads is hampering access to markets and other services.
Karangura is a hilly area situated on the ranges of Mount Rwenzori. Nevertheless, the area is endowed with fertile soils that favour growing of coffee, Irish potatoes, groundnuts and bananas.
But the residents say delivering the produce to markets is a challenge due to poor roads. Mr Moses Masereka, a resident of Kamabale A Village, says due to poor roads, people trek long distances to access safe water while farmers get low prices from their produce.
