Mbarara City South MP Mwine Mpaka has demanded accountability for the Shs366 million used to fix the Katete Bridge. He wrote to the city clerk asking for details.
Mpaka wants to see bills and meeting minutes about the project. He questions if it followed procurement rules.
The UPDF Engineering Brigade got the contract under the former city clerk. But many say the work does not match the high cost.
The bridge links Mbarara City to Katete Town and Isingiro District. It was partly reopened after being closed for 10 months.
People have complained about the quality of the repairs. They want to know how the money was spent.
Mpaka asked about how materials from the old bridge were disposed of. He wonders if this followed the law.
His letter supports the public's call for openness. He gave the city leaders 14 days to respond.
This adds to the pressure on Mbarara City officials. People are worried about how public money is being used.
