She was together with other members of Parliament serving on the Parliamentary Committee of Government Assurance and Implementation led by Hon. Francis Zaake.
Below is her full statement;
“Today, I was honored together with my fellow Members of Parliament serving on the Parliamentary Committee on Government Assurance and Implementation, led by Hon. Francis Zaake, were in Madi-Okollo District for an oversight visit.
With great disappointment over the delayed completion of Aca Bridge, noting that construction works commenced in 2019 and were expected to be completed by 2022, but the project remains unfinished.
I attribute the delay to challenges related to the contractor not receiving full payment to enable the works to proceed as planned. i therefore call upon the Ministry of Works and Transport to ensure that contractors are funded and paid on time so that they can execute projects efficiently and within the stipulated timelines.
I emphasized that timely funding of Government projects is essential to avoiding unnecessary delays, ensuring value for money, and delivering critical infrastructure to the people in a timely manner,” Hon. Katusiime Jovia Mbabazi said.
