President Museveni and his DR Congo counterpart Felix Antoine Tshisekedi last June commissioned a road infrastructure connectivity project straddling the Mpondwe\/Kasindi-Beni Road (80km); the Bunagana-Rutshuru-Goma Road (89km) and the Beni-Butembo Axis (54km).<\/p>\n

Mr Muhindi Eliphaze Bukombi, the Kasese LC5 Chairman, believes the roads \u201cuplift the economic wellbeing of\u2026people\u201d in both countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAware that peace and security is the cornerstone for meaningful development, we thank the two presidents for being visionary,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cThey realised that although we are separated by the boundaries, we need to coexist. People of Kasese are the primary beneficiaries of this project through employment, rental services and buying or selling of products.\u201d<\/p>\n
