Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The construction of three projects that include a market under the Uganda Support to Municipal Infrastructure Development Programme (USMID-AF) in Obongi district is nearing completion.<\/p>\n

The projects include a market at Palorinya Sub-county worth Shs1.7 billion, the Itula resource centre worth Shs938 million, and the Palorinya resource centre at Shs966 million.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Daily Monitor on Tuesday, Mr Ivan Onapa, the acting district engineer, said the construction of the two resource centres is complete and awaiting commissioning while the market is now at 80 percent completion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were allocated Shs5.4 billion under USMID and under the three projects, we have spent Shs3.6 billion. Given our performance, we are hopeful of getting the remaining balance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Onapa said the market will include lockups, stores, restaurants, office space, a clinic, and space for breastfeeding mothers.<\/p>\n

The resource centre will be equipped with computers, Internet, a library, and other sports-related facilities that are geared towards creating a conducive environment for traders, youths to get skills and enhance revenue. A resident of Palorinya Sub-county, Mr Loius Tani, said: \u201cWe used to travel 40 kilometres to access this kind of service, now we shall have a market and the resources centre near us.\u201d \u201cEven the market was makeshift and rain would destroy goods of vendors. We hope the market will be properly maintained and not vandalised,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Equally, Ms Mary Juan, a refugee from Palorinya refugee settlement who sells cassava, said: \u201cWe used to sell on the streets and under trees. Once there is rain, we abandon the market. During dry seasons we experience a lot of wind and dust that disorganises us. This will then help us from trading decently.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chief Administrative Officer, Mr Andrew Leru, said when they get more funding next financial year, they will prioritise fencing the new facilities to safeguard them from being vandalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen handed over to us, the sub-county will be responsible for it, this will boost the local revenue of the sub-county and we are already constituting the market allocation committee, the management committee and soon launching the business management plan of the market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The district speaker, Mr Louis Drale, said the project will promote trade among the refugees and host communities.<\/p>\n
