Poor roads in Nebbi delay government projects, impact local trade

Contractors have said the poor state of roads in Nebbi District is stifling completion of government projects in the area.

The contractors say they are finding difficulties in transporting materials to the sites, especially whenever it rains.

One of the affected projects is the construction of Mamba and Ndhew seed schools. The contractors fear that this would affect the timeline of completion of the projects.

The project manager of Rhema Construction Company Limited, Mr Simon Atupa, said, work on the two seed schools should have been handed over in July but this was affected by the terrain and heavy rains.

Mr Atupa said they spend much of their time trying to remove the trucks from the mud.
