Museveni furious, threatens to fire Katumba, Kagina & Kisaka!

The President of Uganda Sabalwanyi Yoweri Museveni is furious about the state of roads in Kampala and has threatened to sack the Minister for Works and Transport Gen Edward Katumba Wamala, the Executive Director KCCA Dorothy Kisakka and the Executive Director UNRA Allen Kagina.

The furious Ssabalwanyi made the remarks on Monday during a heated cabinet meeting after having a tour of various city road projects in Kampala ahead of G77 and Non Aligned Movement Summits to be held in Kampala early next year.  In the tour, Museveni discovered delays and alarming shoddy works on several projects which made him to wonder what the said officials are doing.

Sources say that Museveni who last week travelled to Saudi Arabia wondered why roads in Dubai, Qatar and other such countries are first class and take long yet our roads in Uganda are easily washed away by rai n whenever it rains.

Sources from cabinet indicate that Museveni was earlier briefed by his intelligence sources that roads in Uganda are overpriced yet they do very thin layers of tarmac that get damaged easily by rain but also don’t last longer which is attributed to corruption by technocrats whom Museveni always refers to as parasites!

Critics have blamed government for the poor state of roads in Kampala Capita City saying it’s the city with the poorest roads in East Africa. Mid this year the President ordered for a release of 6 billion to work on potholes in the city after a social media campaign duped pothole exhibition but todate, the state of roads in Kampala remain horrible!

As we talk, the jobs of the trio (Katumba, Kagina & Kisaka) hangs in balance and they risk being dropped in the looming reshuffle expected in December 2023.
