I joined the Minister of Works and Transport, @HonByamukama to inspect the progress of the Masaka–Kyotera–Mutukula Road project today.
With physical progress standing at only 23%, the pace of work remains unsatisfactory and below Government’s expectations. Hon. Byamukama expressed concern over the slow progress and issued a firm directive to the contractor to commence tarmacking within the next 90 days while accelerating all outstanding works.
Government already committed and approved UGX 629 billion for the implementation of this project for a period of 2024–2028 programme. The contractor must now match this commitment with tangible progress on the ground. We will continue to closely monitor the works to ensure timely delivery of this critical road, which is essential for trade, regional connectivity, and the socio-economic transformation of our people.
🚧Greater Masaka Infrastructure development 🤝
Minister of Works & Transport @HonByamukama is currently inspecting the Masaka–Kyotera–Mutukula Road Project to assess the progress of ongoing construction works & ensure that implementation is in line with the approved work plan, engineering specifications & contractual timelines. The inspection includes engagements with the supervising engineers & the contractor to review the pace of work, address implementation challenges, and emphasize the timely delivery of a high-quality road
Inspection Findings and Issues
Slow Progress: Only 30% physical completion achieved nearly two years into the project timeline.
Dust and Disruption: Large stretches remain severely dusty because the contractor (Chongqing International Construction Corporation - CICO) only waters active construction zones, harming local businesses.
Design and Standard Concerns: Ongoing debates regarding structural designs to handle heavy cross-border truck freight traffic to the Tanzanian border at Mutukula.
Next Steps and Government Action
Contractor Engagement: The government plans to formally engage CICO to accelerate implementation pace.
Mitigating Local Impact: Directing increased mitigation efforts for dust control and easing transportation obstacles for residents along the corridor.
@MoWT_Uganda
Today, I inspected the ongoing construction works on the Masaka–Kyotera–Mutukula Road, a strategic regional corridor that connects Uganda to the United Republic of Tanzania and serves as a vital route for trade, tourism and cross-border movement.
I am concerned that with only two years remaining on the contract, just about 30% of the works have been completed. This pace is not satisfactory for a project of such national and regional importance.
I directed the contractor to intensify dust suppression by regularly watering the entire corridor, to prevent accidents which have become a common occurrence due to the dust and lack of speed humps.
The contractor has 90 days to commence tarmarcing of the road!
@MoWT_Uganda will maintain close supervision of this project to ensure improved performance, adherence to quality standards and timely delivery.
When you make a bank deposit theres no limit, when you want to make a withdrawal theres a limit per day. When you entering a taxi the car can literally stop anywhere but when its time to get off, the driver has to look for parking….
Moral of the story!🫤
🚧✅Engineers working on the UGX 1.3 Trillion Mpigi Expressway have defended changes to the original project design. They say the initial plan was inadequate.
According to them, the first design had no flyovers, only one interchange, a dual carriageway, a single toll gate, and no link roads. Those missing features have now been added, which is why the budget has increased from UGX 550 billion to UGX 1.3 trillion.
`
Project Evolution and Additions
>Initial Plan: Contracted in 2016 at roughly UGX 547.5 billion with a dual carriageway, a single toll gate, one interchange, and no link roads or flyovers.
>Added Features: Expanded to include multiple flyovers, additional interchanges, and vital link roads to improve safety and community access.
>Rerouting: Portions of the road were shifted to reduce community disruption and navigate difficult wetland sections.
REASONS FOR THE BUDGET & DESIGN ADJUSTMENTS
^Technical Redesign: Engineers explained that modifications include adding interchanges, relocating the toll plaza, and building an underpass for the Standard Gauge Railway.
^Alignment Shifts: Routing adjustments addressed functionality, safety, and community access, though critics and parliamentarians questioned shifts into wetland areas.
^Review Process: Ministry officials maintained that adjustments underwent institutional review involving independent consultants and project financiers before cabinet and parliamentary presentation.

🚨🗣 Eddie Howe breaks silence after leaving Newcastle united:
"Newcastle Finished 10th last season and instead of signing new players to improve the squad depth and and structureof the team, they're selling the key players at the club"
"At this point it wasn't clear what their plan was and if things starts going bad next season, all the blame will be on me and I will look like a bad coach so, I decided to quit"
"Sold Gordon, Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, will probably sell Bruno and Lewis hall, I don't know if there plan was to be relegated next season"

🚧🛑Scores of construction workers narrowly escaped death on Monday afternoon after a multi storey building under construction partially buckled along Bishop Tucker Road in Mukono Municipality, raising fresh concerns about construction safety standards, enforcement of building regulations and the quality of supervision on private developments.
The incident occurred as workers were pouring concrete on the second floor of the building. According to eyewitnesses, one of the supporting pillars suddenly failed, causing one side of the structure to bend inward and leaving the building dangerously unstable.
Why have Buildings continued to Collapse During Construction🚧
These are some of the Statements Followed & Implemented 🤦 on site by so Called *Yinginiyas☠️) & end up leading to the collapse of buildings
"I know someone who can do it at a cheaper price"
"Engineers are expensive yet they don't do Much work"
"Add more water in that concrete"
"Add more wheelbarrows of Sand"
"Y10 can do the same work of Y16, Kasta they are all steel bars🤦"
"You remove the Formwork, the slab looks to be strong ❌"
What really needs to be done To STOP These Occurrences
