Rakai Leaders Appeal Over Kasensero Road

RAKAI district leaders have appealed to the Government to work on the road to Kasensero landing site in Kakuuto, after heavy rains submerged two swamps making it impossible for vehicles to ferry fish from the fishing site, reports Eddie Ssejjoba.The LC5 chairman, Vincent Ssemakula, told The New Vision at the weekend that the district was making efforts to contact the Ministry of Works, Housing and Communications to work on the swampy area.He said Nzizi and Kamulindwa swamps had been submerged by water and vehicles could not cross over to Kasensero. He said fish from Kasensero provided one of the biggest sources of local revenue and many fishermen were stranded with fish, forcing them to drop the prices.“Its only heavy duty vehicles that can cross through these flooded swamps. But still very few of them were willing to risk and the whole of Kyebe sub-county has become an island,” he said. However, he said Bukoola bridge was safe and secure. Ends
