Leaders and the residents of Budongo Sub County in Masindi district are blaming Kinyara Sugar limited for destroying their roads with their heavy trucks.
Speaking during the commissioning of the construction of the two bridges at Lugazi- Kyamasuka Nyabyeya and kasongoire Nyantonzi Kitaibutura, Kiiza Kenneth Nyendwoha the Budongo Sub County chairperson noted that they use a lot of money on these roads but the heavy trucks of kinyara sugar factory destroy them within no time.
He added that in this financial year they are planning to work on two roads at a cost of 43 million Ugandan shillings and remaining roads will be worked on in the coming financial year.
Nyendwoha said that these days Kinyara sugar limited no longer gives them any assistance like it used to though it is the main user of the roads.
Timothy Twesige, the secretary for finance Budongo Sub County local government explained that whenever the sub county works on the road Kinyara drivers focus on the newly constructed road until it becomes impassable.
When contacted by www.mknewslink.com , the Communications Manager Kinyara Sugar limited Richard Wanok promised to call back but in vain.
