Residents in Kanungu are dissatisfied with the poor state of community access roads in Mpungu, Kihihi and Rugyeyo sub- counties.
Some local leaders said they had sent several letters to the district authorities giving a detailed description of the state of the roads but no action has been taken.
“We want Ms Josephine Kasya the LCV chairperson of Kanungu to tell us why she has abandoned us,” Byarugaba Martin, a resident, said.
Another resident, Ms Christine Kobusigye, said Hamurwa- Rugyeyo road Rugyeyo Sub-county, has become impassable because it was last rehabilitated nine years ago.
Jimmy Baheza, the LC1 chairperson of Rugyeyo, said farmers lack access to better market for their agricultural produce due to the bad state of the roads.
“Our leaders only come back to beg for votes when elections draw nearer,” he said.
The Kanungu district councilor for Mpungu Frank Byaruhanga identified some of the destroyed roads as Hamurwa, Rugyeyo- Kambuga road, Kanungu- Nyamirama, Bwambara – Rukungiri roads among others.
Dennis Magezi , Kanungu district engineer said the district did some grading but heavy rains that lasted for 2 weeks made the roads impassable adding that they are soon rehabilitating all community access roads in this financial year.
However, he acknowledged that some roads have not been rehabilitated because of limited funding.
Ms Josephine Kasya , the district chairperson, said her administration has budgeted Shs102 million this financial year for the rehabilitation of all community access roads saying that some roads will be rehabilitated by the sub- counties using road funds..

Panic has gripped residents of Kahengye cell in Eastern ward, Kebisoni town council in Rukungiri District after suspected locusts invaded some tree species in the farm of the late John Jones Biretwaho located at the overhead of kahengye water camp.
According to district councilor, Leonard Muhunguzi Tiberondwa, they were shocked to see a swarm of suspected wild locusts feeding on leaves on the tree species locally known as Kasenene and Kawere.
Muhungizi ran and sought advice on the strange insects from the office of the District Entomology and results are still pending.
Lillian Kukunda Twine, the Rukungiri district entomologist stated that the samples of insects have been collected though in a young stage (nymph) which makes it hard to simply determine the type of insect.
Kukunda stressed out that what residents say is controversial to characteristics of locusts is that they move during the day and feed at night.
She said that they are yet to confirm the type of insects that invaded the sub-county thus calling for calmness amidst suspicion.
This comes shortly after the state minister for Karamoja Moses Kazige on Sunday confirmed that the desert locusts had entered Uganda.

Murungu public primary school in Rubaya sub-county Ndorwa west Constituency Kabale district is in a sorry state.
The government aided school, which has an enrollment of 166 pupils, operates in 2 dilapidated classrooms built by the community in 2000.
The lessons are disrupted whenever it rains forcing all pupils to converge in the only one block which is used as staff room, library, dining room and houses for two teachers.
The classrooms have broken windows, doors, cracked walls, dusty room floors and leaking roof. The school operates with broken pit latrines.
Teachers have abandoned their staff quarters due to a bushy environment.
According, Enock Twinomugisha, the head teacher Murungu public primary school, the situation at the school is alarming.
Twinomugisha noted that the school has only one toilet which is shared by males and females and the classrooms don’t have windows appealing to the government to come to their rescue.
Innocent Turyatunga, the school’s Management chairperson, said that they have severally raised their concerns to the district authorities but there is no positive response.
Bahebwa Stanly, a resident said it is embarrassing for the only traditional school in the sub-county to operate in dilapidated structures.
However, Moses Tumwijukye, the Kabale district inspector of schools, said that the district education departments don’t have funds to build and renovate the school.
Mean while a USA-based charity organization, Tukundane international, has donated scholastic materials and equipment to the school.

When asked about Kampala Parents School, Mr. Rajiv revealed that management pulled out some structures where, one teacher takes on a pupil for two years, from P6 to P7 such that one is accountable of the Children’s performance he’s been teaching for two years.
“We’ve done a lot of these strategic things that have helped Kampala Parents, we’ve also managed to get a lot of young new teachers because teaching is constantly and evolution, you are learning every day, In a school, the way we were taught 15 years ago is not the same way my kids are going to be taught at the University, the world is constantly evolving. We brought in new young teachers with new teaching tactics who are attached with the children” he said.

Two directors at Bank of Uganda are under investigations by State House Anti-Corruption Unit for allegedly paying Shs6 billion to two city lawyers.
The two directors are Benedict Ssekabira of Financial Markets Development Coordination (FMDC) and Margaret Kasule, director legal services.
According to sources, the two directors are alleged to have sanctioned the payment of Shs6 billion to Timothy Masembe Kanyerezi and David Mpanga.
Sources further allege that although this money was released as legal fees, however, its intended purposes is to cover all the legal loopholes in the case of Crane Bank Limited takeover and subsequent during receivership.
The two lawyers represented BoU and the payment for their services has been ongoing until parliament probing Committee on Commissions, State Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) that investigated BoU over the controversial sale of seven commercial banks between 1993 and October 20, 2016.
In December 2017, the Commercial Court disqualified city lawyers Mr Kanyererezi Masembe and Mr. David Mpanga from the Sh397 billion Sudhir Ruparelia’s case against Bank of Uganda (BoU), also citing conflict of interest.
In his ruling delivered on December 21, 2017, the head of the commercial court division, Justice Wangutusi stated that Mr. David Mpanga of A.F. Mpanga Advocates and Timothy Masembe of MMAKS Advocates acted in violation of the Advocates (Professional Conduct) regulations.
Last month, it was alleged that BoU released Shs4 billion as part of the balance on Shs20 billion to the same lawyers. However, what is intriguing investigators is why paying that entire amount to the lawyers and yet some of the cases are jointly handled by BoU own lawyers.
Sources say that the payment could be part of the ploy to falsify accountability in the case of Shs478 billion.
Auditor General John Muwanga carried out a special Audit on the Shs478 billion injected into Crane Bank Limited by Bank of Uganda. The report it pinned the central bank officials for failure to account for Shs478 billion it injected in Crane Bank Limited (CBL).The audit was carried out as ordered by COSASE on December 20, 2018.
The BoU officials during their exit meeting with COSASE failed to account for Shs478 billion they say they spent as liquidity support and other intervention costs on CBL receivership between October 20, 2016 and January 25, 2017.
Muwanga in the report says out of Shs478 billion injected into CBL, a sum of Shs157.9 billion had been recovered from Dfcu bank and CBL Non-Performing assets leaving an outstanding balance of Shs320.8 billion at the time of writing the report. CBL at the time it was sold to Dfcu bank at Shs200 billion only needed about Shs157 billion to remain afloat.
Sources further say that because of the above inquiry State House Anti-Corruption Unit, several meetings have been ongoing between several people pinned in the AG report. It is alleged that former executive director in charge of supervision Justine Bagyenda and former deputy governor, Louis Kasekende ordered the two directors to release money to the two lawyers.
Dr. Kasekende told COSASE that the money was spent as; telegraphic transfers (TTs) and LC payments, Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), clearing and cash requirement requests.
An extra Shs12.2 billion was also spent on service providers including MMAKS Advocates who pocketed about Shs4.2 billion. The latest report on Shs478 billion spent on CBL did not however audit the Shs12 billion paid by BoU to service providers, reasoning that it was extensively dealt with by the MPs.

This forced Winyi and other land lords to apply to the land commission for the government to compensate them.
In a letter read to the residents in a meeting that was held at Busokwa trading center by the district chairperson Richard Rwabuhinga, the government bought at least five land lords from Karambi and others in Burahya county in the year 2011and 2015.
Among the land lords are Christopher Winyi, Rwagira Peace,Kiiza Asiimwe,Kantu Destiny,Mwesige George Sharp Ziwaliya Katwire.
Rwabuhibnga disclosed that none of these people are allowed to charge Obusuru(tax) from the tenants since the government has already bought the land for them.
Rwabuhinga stated that the land commission is remaining with demarcations, and
processing land tittles.
Rwabuhinga further commended the activists who fought for the people and promised that no one is going to evict people following the president’s directive.
Meanwhile, Joseph Mashuhuko the district councilor for Karambi told the district chairperson that some people have refused to sell their land to government thus hindering development of the area.
