The lower part of the Bridge served as an under carriageway for vehicular traffic, while the upper part was for trains. This was the case until 1954 when the Owen Falls Dam was completed with a tarmacked road.

NAWAMPANDA HEALTH CENTER II, KYEMEIRE, BUTAGAYA, JINJA DISTRICT

Nawampanda HC II serves about 15 villages (about 500 people) in Kyemeire, in Butagaya Sub county in rural Jinja. The facility lacks even the basic of necessities like running water and power. There is hardly any medicine save for the usual painkillers and anti malarials. The facility meant to take care of ill patients needs urgent care itself.

Meanwhile Parliament can afford to spend Shs 2.6 billion on itself daily, thats almost Shs 1 trillion per year on just well over 600 people. The State House also has an almost Shs 500 billion annual budget. With a bloated administration and duplication of agencies, public expenditure in Uganda is through the roof.

Uganda also loses about shs 10 trillion per year on corruption in all its forms.

Uganda is not necessarily poor, it just has misplaced priorities.

JINJA HIGHWAY FAST BECOMING ONE GIANT BLACKSPOT.

The potholed marked area start just outside Nile Breweries in Njeru where a giant pitlike pothole has developed, more potholes can be found in Mbiko, Nakibizzi ,Kitogoma, Mabira Forest, Lugazi, and motorists want it fixed saying their “vehicles get damaged every day in addition to spending a lot of time on the road.” The potholes have also cause fatal accidents with several headon collisions as vehicles swarve to dodge potholes.

“The deplorable state of the section of the road is holding back Uganda’s economic growth and also hampering regional trade,” Godfrey Kisekwa, the chairperson of drivers in Njeru Municipality told Monitor on Sunday.
He said they have raised this problem with the leadership of Njeru Municipality since 2023 but authorities told them “it was Uganda National Roads Authority’s (Unra) responsibility to fix the road.”
Unra spokesperson Allan Ssembebwa said he needed more time to first get facts about the state of the road between Mbiko and Lugazi from their team in the area.

“Please allow me time to first get information from our engineers why the road is cracking, and I will base on that to advise the motorists,” he noted.
The poor state of the road in mention has forced some motorists going to Jinja to use the Njeru -Nyenga-Katosi Road to connect to Mukono while others are using the Mukono – Kayunga-Njeru Road.
Mazamiru Ssentongo, a long -distance hauler, plying the Mombasa -Uganda –DR Congo route, said the damaged section of the road not only causes frustration to motorists but also poses a threat to road safety.

“It is a shame to see vehicles with red number plates dodging the damaged lane and crossing to another meant for vehicles coming from the Kampala side,” he observed.

Peter Kirigeya, the chairperson of conductors at Nile -Njeru Stage decried rampant accidents on the road.

“We have been experiencing serious accidents here for the last three years because of those potholes. Motorists especially from the Jinja side cross to the lane meant for vehicles coming from Kampala which is dangerous,” he explained.
Jinja-Kampala Highway is an essential transportation artery connecting Uganda’s capital to the eastern part of the country.
It also leads to two border points, Busia and Malaba, which Uganda relies on for import and export transportation through Mombasa Port in Kenya.
To express their displeasure with the poor state of the road, residents along the highway especially between Lugazi and Mbiko have persistently protested by sometimes blocking the usually busy road over what they call “government inaction.”
