During the joint inspection, the 3 Division Deputy Commander, Brigadier General Felix Busizoori, said that upon completion, the roads will enhance security, trade, tourism and inter-connectivity within Karamoja Sub-region and across the border as the region steers up for socio-economic transformation.

Kinyera Moses, the site engineer for Uganda Martyrs Housing and Construction Company Limited, explained that two roads contracted under Lot 2 have been opened and gravelled as the installation of culverts is ongoing.

The two roads include; Road 1: Simyu – Magos – Naput (55.06KM) and Kobebe – Naput (26.55KM) and Road 2: Kobebe – Kalongolemuge – Nakapelimoru (33.009KM) while Road 3: contracted under Lot 1; covers (138KM) Nakiloro – Naput – Kotein – Kotein – Loyoro (88KM), Loyoro – Lopedo (50KM) being worked on by NEC.

According to Kwesiga Bright, the assistant site engineer for NEC, Road 3 is at a progressive opening and forming road bed stage.

The three-road works are part of the broader 250km that the Government of Uganda promised to rehabilitate and improve Karamoja security roads in a way to reduce the insecurity and cattle rustling activities in the sub-region in FY 2021/2022.

Present during the inspection were: Officials from the Ministry of Works and Transport, the 405 Brigade Commander, Officials from the National Enterprise Corporation and officers from the 3 Division.
