President Museveni kicked off construction for a major new road project at Bukasa Catholic Church. The First Lady Janet Museveni joined him for the big ceremony. Chinese builders from CICO will construct the 12.7 kilometer highway for 56 billion shillings. The dual carriageway will take 18 months to finish and measure 18 meters wide. Workers have completed just over 4 percent of the project after starting in May.
The President told crowds that good roads mean nothing without money at home. He pushed his wealth creation plan to help families earn more cash. Museveni said government jobs cannot support everyone and factories must create work opportunities. The leader stressed that building industries will boost Uganda's economy and add value to local products. He believes this approach works better than just focusing on infrastructure projects.
Museveni handed over 300 million shillings to local churches as a gift to the community. Former Vice President Gilbert Bukenya praised the road project and urged people to support the ruling party. The engineer Simon Odoki thanked residents for giving up land without demanding payment. He credited the President's vision for making the project possible. Community members cooperated fully during the planning stages.
The new highway will connect Bukasa, Ssentema, and Kakiri areas across Busiro County. Business owners expect the road to boost trade and economic growth throughout Wakiso District. The project represents part of the government's broader development strategy for the region.
