Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The state of many feeder roads in Kapchorwa, Kween and Bukwo districts that make up the Sebei Sub-region paints a rough picture of what locals go through to access social services.<\/p>\n

Sebei is one of Uganda\u2019s food baskets and home to many athletics gold medalists.<\/p>\n

The feeder roads have now worsened following the ongoing rainy season that has rendered them impassable.<\/p>\n

However, Uganda Revenue Authority is doing a great job on the 73km Kapchorwa-Bukwo road. The road that links all the three districts of Sebei is expected to be completed in December.<\/p>\n

Ms Jane Chemutai, a businesswoman in Sebei, says the poor state of feeder roads taint a negative picture of the local government despite ongoing tarmacking of the Kapchorwa-Bukwo road.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients are dying before reaching health facilities. Fresh food stuffs such as Irish potatoes and tomatoes are rotting on the way because farmers cannot access markets,\u201dMs Chemutai says.<\/p>\n

Agriculture is the main economic activity in Sebei with farmers engaging mostly in subsistence farming to feed their families and selling the surplus to raise money for education and health bills.<\/p>\n

The main crops grown are Irish potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, onions, and maize.<\/p>\n

Some of the horrible roads include Kapchesombe, Siron-mokoto, Kaptokwoi-Tarta, Chema-kapkwai, and Chema-Ngangata. Many of the bridges on the roads have also been damaged by the floods.<\/p>\n

Poor leadership<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Fundi Chemwok, an opinion leader and resident of Kujongi Village, Chema Sub-county, blames the state of affairs on poor leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is political negligence. There is no proper follow-up on government projects such as roads, health and education,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Mr Chemwok, a retired journalist, says the money that comes from the central government to maintain roads is misappropriated.<\/p>\n

He adds that the area Members of Parliament don\u2019t follow up on council meetings to understand the challenges faced by locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a gap between MPs and district council leaders. Let MPs come on ground and assess the damages caused by floods on roads and other projects,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Mr Aggrey Chepkwurui, popularly known as DK, a local musician, says they are using music to campaign against bad leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it rains, most roads in rural areas are cut off in Sebei. Our music concerts are just held in a few towns,\u201d Ms Chepkwurui says.<\/p>\n

He warns that \u201cthere is a need to intensify the monitoring and supervision of the government projects, otherwise, there is no value for money\u201d.<\/p>\n

When the former State minister for Economic Monitoring, Mr Peter Ogwang (now State minister for Sports), visited Sebei early this year, he discovered many ghost and abandoned projects.<\/p>\n

Several civil servants were arrested and charged with misuse of funds, embezzlement, corruption and negligence of duty. Others were interdicted.<\/p>\n

Ms Irene Chebet, a teacher and a farmer, says traders spend nights in their cars because of the poor roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew traders who make it to the villages to buy the produce get stuck on the way. This is why they offer very low prices,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Ms Chebet says there is a need for routine maintenance of community access roads.<\/p>\n

Mr John Sokuton, a businessman in Kapchorwa Municipality, says the poor road network has chased away potential investors. \u201cThe investors who would help Sebei develop leave the area once they realise that most roads are in bad shape,\u201d Mr Sokuton says. Ms Peruth Chemutai, an Olympic gold medallist, says they face many challenges while jogging and training in rural areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe roads are very bad,\u201d Ms Chemutai told Daily Monitor at the weekend.<\/p>\n

She says they are mobilising resources to repair the Barawa-Kapchol Bridge in Kapchorwa Municipality that was washed away after waiting for several years with no action from the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and my father-in-law have mobilised money to repair the bridge. Some days back, I survived falling in the stream with my vehicle,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Mr Twalla Fadil, the MP for Tingey County in Kapchorwa District, says the district lacks adequate road funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make the matter worse, the money does not come in time. We have a larger road network, but the money given to the district is little,\u201d Mr Fadil says.<\/p>\n

He says the government should increase the fundings in the road sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current allocation for road maintenance is very low with some districts receiving as little as Shs25m a quarter from Uganda Road Fund, which is inadequate for maintenance of roads,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Countrywide<\/b><\/p>\n

The Bubulo East MP, Mr John Musila, says districts, sub-counties and the town councils are grappling with collapsed road infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish the Finance minister constituted a committee to visit the rural areas and he is able to witness the damage floods have caused,\u201dMr Musila says.<\/p>\n

Kapchorwa engineer Joseph Musobo Bukose acknowledges that his administration has done little to repair the dilapidated roads, but was quick to blame it on inadequate funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are frequent budget cuts which have affected the road sector. Maintaining a 1km of the road in Kapchorwa is equivalent to maintaining the 5kms in the lower belt,\u201d Mr Musobo says.<\/p>\n

He says some bridges, which were constructed some years back, have rotten timber and need urgent repair.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral bridges in the district have broken down and the district does not have the capacity to work on them because of financial constraints,\u201d Mr Musobo said.<\/p>\n

Funding<\/b><\/p>\n

He says although the district was supposed to get Shs242 million from the road funds last financial year, they only received Shs135 Million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a special fund for mountainous districts due to their terrain. At the moment, it is difficult to attend to emergencies because of the bad roads,\u2019\u2019 he adds.<\/p>\n

Kapchorwa Municipal Council Town Clerk Samuel Robert Okwir blames the poor roads on the terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrain of this area is bad and most of the areas have rocks,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Motorists are forced to spend hours maneuvering through potholes and slippery roads to transport agricultural produce to Mbale and other neighbouring towns.<\/p>\n

Daily Monitor learnt that most of the affected roads in the heart of Kapchorwa Municipality connect to hotels, schools, health centres and places of worship.<\/p>\n

Kapchorwa Municipal engineer Bob Cherop says the entire Sebei Sub-region has unique terrains, which calls for a unique approach and funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis place is hilly and sloppy. To put murram on the road\u2026. you need Shs56 million per Kms and getting the same murram is a challenge,\u201d Mr Cherop says.<\/p>\n

According to him, Kapchorwa Municipality has 431kms. He also acknowledges that the quality of work is usually compromised because of limited funding from the central government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government sends Shs92 million per quarter. What can that money do? As engineers, our hands are tight and even that little money delays to come,\u2019\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

The MP for Kween County, Mr William Chemonges, blames some dishonest local government administrators for aiding graft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhereas the citizens complain that the government is not doing enough to work on the roads, the problem is also with some local government officials who misuse the money,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Mr Cornelias Kemboi, a councillor in Kween, says more than 500 people were left homeless and property worth millions destroyed after River Atari in Kween District burst its banks after a downpour last week.<\/p>\n

Several roads were damaged, leaving several sub-counties such as Ngenge, Sundet, and Kiriki impassable.<\/p>\n

Healthcare dilemma<\/b><\/p>\n

Locals revealed that some pregnant mothers deliver on their way to health centre while others deliver at home. Mr Simon Peter Chesang, an elder, says pregnant mothers walk a distance of about 20-kilometres to attend to antenatal care at the nearest health centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe are no public vehicles in rural areas because of the deplorable state of the roads,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
