This pledge later featured in several budget speeches between 2001 and 2010.
During campaigns for the 2011 General Election, the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party released a five-year manifesto in which it committed to working on key infrastructure in the country.
The manifesto had a list of 22 roads, which the government promised to upgrade from gravel to tarmac. However, no work has been done on the 129-kilometre stretch to date.
Mr Titus Aleper, the Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) project manager, now says they are in the process of securing contractors to undertake designs and build the roads.
“We are still in the process of identifying contractors before the exercise kicks off. The construction process has been divided into two parts; the 65km Jinja-Mbulamuti-Kamuli road and the 64km Kamuli-Bukungu road in Buyende District. So we shall have two contractors,” he said during a stakeholders’ engagement meeting in Jinja City on Tuesday.
