Ekanya, where is the new district?
Tororo County MP Geoffrey Ekanya promised voters a district during his campaigns. Where is the district?
-Peter Otenge,Tororo county
"People have always demanded for a district because it is their right. As their MP, I have been following up the matter with the Government. However, the problem is that the President has been insisting on a county district, yet many people want a district based on the 1947 boundaries."

Where is the grader you promised us?
During campaigns Elijah Okupa promised the people of Kasilo that he would buy them a grader to aid road construction. He also promised to start a radio station. Why has he done about this?
- Steven Eresu, Kasilo
"I am not the kind of politician who makes such promises. I know how much a grader costs. I did not promise a grader. It is not an MP’s work to construct roads. Maybe the one asking is one of those people who never voted for me."

What are you doing about impassable roads?
The road from Lwammaggwa to Lumbugu in Rakai district is in a poor state. What is the area MP, Edward Mugumya Magulumaali, doing about it?
- Godfrey Kakkakyoyiga, Lwamaggwa
"I have already talked to the Ministry of Works about the condition of that road. This is important land that should be tarmacked because it passes through an area that has got a lot of potential. The area has Kaolin. If it is in good shape, it can also reduce the distance between Rakai and Lyantonde town."
