The minister tasked Pramukh Steel Ltd and Victoria Plastics Ltd to construct boreholes for communities to provide drinking water sources for them, replacing the contaminated waters that put the lives of people at risk.
"The boda-boda issue is being handled carefully, and registration of all boda boda cyclists is ongoing. We are going to register a certain number of cyclists per stage, and those without stages will have to vacate Kampala. This will reduce the overcongestion and the high crime rate being committed by these unknown cyclists.”
The most efficient services come from specialized institutions whose knowledge and expertise take many decades to learn and achieve. It is unimaginable, for example, to make Mulago Hospital a department in the Ministry of Health or Makerere University a department in the Ministry of Education. The low quality of service delivery in many government departments deserves improvement, not additional work, and throwing away institutions like paper towels is very difficult to understand.

The highest corruption levels in Uganda need a collective effort to be fought, and definitely President Museveni cannot succeed when the other arms of government publicly show that they support it.
No occupants will be chased from the land but will instead be registered and given certificates of occupancy to allow them to pay the nominal ground rent, ‘Busuulu.’
