Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in Kayunga have earmarked Shs250m to renovate the district office block that was built with structural mistakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true. There were structural mistakes made by the contractor. The entire building needs a complete overhaul,\u201d Mr Andrew Muwonge, the district chairperson said.<\/p>\n

The Shs900million mega building constructed 11 years ago by SMB International Company Ltd is now dilapidated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have resolved to remove the tiles and redo the roofing, restore the broken floor tiles and sewerage and water system,\u201d Mr Muwonge told this publication on March 22.<\/p>\n

Mr Muwonge added that renovation is intended to save staff lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contractor did not put plastic paper underneath the roofing tiles which has resulted into leaking whenever it rains. With poor ventilation, the situation is really bad,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

Another female district staff who preferred anonymity told this publication that \u201cthey expect disaster from the falling concrete ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Saleh Bulinsoni, the district speaker noted that improving the building which houses most of the district offices is a huge relief.<\/p>\n

Kayunga District engineer, Jonathan Wazimbe said the renovation works require over Shs400million but would be done in phases, starting with serious ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have contracted Wazibas General Contractors and designers, a company carrying out building works of the southern wing of the block to do the renovations,\u201d Eng Wazimbe disclosed.<\/p>\n

About the building<\/p>\n

President Museveni in 2005 during Eng. Steven Dagada\u2019s reign as district chairperson laid a foundation stone for the construction of the office block and donated Shs100m towards the project.Hitherto, the district offices were housed in the dilapidated buildings that belong to Buganda Kingdom at Ntenjeru Village- an area close to where the new district office block is.<\/p>\n

Although the office block is under use, another wing is currently under construction.<\/p>\n
