Summary
Mr Don Wanyama, the senior presidential press secretary, said a pledge, however long, will be fulfilled. “It is always dependent on availability of resources. Whereas some of these promises might be pending, it would also be fair to note that many others have been fulfilled like the Mbale-Lwakhakha road is getting done,” he said.

Moses Okello, a special hire driver, has been plying the Mbale-Budadiri Road for the last 10 years. Most of the good deals he gets in this business is driving tourists to Mt Elgon National Park.
While there is potential to make money in shuttle business, his dreams won’t come to life given the deteriorating state of the road.
“My car broke down in Sironko District when I was driving tourists to Mt Elgon National Park. I hours on the road trying to negotiate potholes. The cost of repairing vehicles is also high. Most roads that lead to tourism sites in eastern Uganda are in a sorry state,” says Okello.
