The Kajara county Member of parliament Hon Michael Timuzigu Kamugisha has said locals need not to trust government and wait for it to implement local projects like access  roads and schools as this may take long while they suffer.

Mr. Timuzigu says while government is entrusted in providing for is citizenry, in most cases it fails due to poor prioritization a reason residents need to come up and work on their own for success of their projects especially those that affect their livelihood that government may have delayed.

He was speaking on Monday at the launch of the county community work project where he engages communities and local leaders to implement their own projects that facilitate them to get put of poverty and facilitate markets access.

He said local projects can only aid locals in production, saving and marketing if done well, and with that individual involvement, they are sustainable because everyone feels they should not be destroyed. He however blamed government for failure to plan on local demands only coming up with projects that end up pushing locals to poverty further.

The Mp together with several district leaders including the district vice chairperson Ms. Sakina Ampeire Imamu, Bwongyera sub county chairperson Mr. James Tinkamanyire and many local council heads and several locals opened Nyamunuka- Karumuna road and constructed a culvert bridge in Kyaruhuga parish. The bridge and the road had been cut off by heavy rains.

End.
