Travellers have been forced to endure long queues at Masindi Port in Western Uganda as they jostle to catch ferries to the country’s capital Kampala following the total closure of Karuma Bridge currently under repair.
The situation has been exacerbated by the recent flooding of the Nakasongola to Zengebe road, which is one of the alternative routes recommended by the Ministry of Works and Transport after the closure of the bridge.
Dr Morris Chris Ongom, the director of Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industries for Lango, said the flooding has made the road impassable, severely disrupting supply chains and affecting the timely delivery of goods to and from the Lango Sub-region.
