Katakwi is getting a speedrun road upgrade, promising to fix transport in weeks. Vice President Jessica Alupo kicked off construction on a fifteen-kilometer stretch in Ongongoja Sub-county that supposedly finishes in just twenty-three days. The project costs 140 million shillings using state funds allocated for district maintenance.
Alupo insisted the contractor better not deliver trash results because wasting resources is unacceptable. She demanded that locals get hired as casual laborers, ensuring the community actually earns something. The official claims peace allows a specific focus on infrastructure connecting schools and health centers.
Usuk County representative Bosco Okiror hyped the move as a major boost while telling residents to treat government programs like personal property. Technical staff received orders to watch out for flooding issues that usually wreck these projects. The Resident District Commissioner wants villagers to act as community engineers.
Colonel Jude Rukuubya noted that this path connects Teso to Karamoja, which helps soldiers chase cattle rustlers faster. Chief Administrative Officer Samuel Baker Opio believes the link opens up economic activity. Locals in Okuliak Village just hope this development actually happens.
