On @ubctvuganda Behind the Headlines, highlighting @KCCAUG strategy to improve travel time on city roads from 4.2 km/min to 3 min/km by 2030.
We are upgrading our roads to achieve 52% pavement of the 2,104 road network by 2030.
We are working on our drainages to mitigate floods in the city so as to save merchandise and property in our business hubs.
To improve mobility, the Bus Rapid Transit & light rail are in the pipeline. These interventions are a highway to middle-income prosperity .

Please take note of these works set to commence under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area Urban Development Program.

When procurement information is openly available, more companies can access opportunities and compete on a level playing field. That means better value for money, greater innovation and stronger confidence in public procurement.

Infrastructure includes much more than roads and bridges. The decisions made about these projects affect our daily lives. Better infrastructure starts with better information — and ends with better services.

ROAD MAINTENANCE | #Lira Station
Our Force Account team is spreading gravel along the 20km Aloi–Adwari section, part of the 83.8km Akia–Olilim Road.
Routine gravel road maintenance keeps communities connected long after a road is opened up.

Our Programme Associate Mercy Abiro Owilla led an engaging session #LCOYUg2026, equipping young climate advocates with practical knowledge on how access to information can drive transparency, accountability, and environmental justice.
From understanding Uganda's legal framework to combating climate disinformation and using information requests as an accountability tool, the session highlighted that informed citizens are empowered citizens.
As the world prepares for #COP31, ensuring communities especially young people can access credible climate information is essential for meaningful participation, stronger accountability, and climate justice.

Today, I inspected the ongoing construction works on the Masaka–Kyotera–Mutukula Road, a strategic regional corridor that connects Uganda to the United Republic of Tanzania and serves as a vital route for trade, tourism and cross-border movement.
I am concerned that with only two years remaining on the contract, just about 30% of the works have been completed. This pace is not satisfactory for a project of such national and regional importance.
I directed the contractor to intensify dust suppression by regularly watering the entire corridor, to prevent accidents which have become a common occurrence due to the dust and lack of speed humps.
The contractor has 90 days to commence tarmarcing of the road!
@MoWT_Uganda will maintain close supervision of this project to ensure improved performance, adherence to quality standards and timely delivery.
Wow, timely land acquisition reduces cost overruns and project delays. Happy to see social safe guards at great consideration, thanks @MoWT_Uganda . Hope all entities shall as well publish this data (ESHS)- inGovernment procurement portal gpp.ppda.go.ug/open-data?tab…

NO road contract will be signed unless at least 50% of the required land has been acquired.
Hon. Fred Byamukama, the Minister @MoWT_Uganda says this will ensure contractors access sites and work without prolonged interruptions.
Failure to secure land before construction has been identified as one of the major causes of project delays, escalating costs!!

As @CostUgChapter, we support this initiative and encourage every stakeholder to clean and protect the environment. It reflects core principles of Environment, Social, Health, and Safety (#ESHS).

Starting this Saturday, Ugandans across the country will come together to participate in community cleaning activities.
The National Cleaning Days Initiative will be observed on the last Saturday of every month, and all Ugandans are encouraged to take part. This will help us keep our communities clean, healthy and safe.

🖲️EPS| ICYMI: Last month, we concluded stakeholder validation of proposed reforms to the Fines Issuance System and Speed Regulations, also mostly known as the Electronic Penalty System [EPS].
The recommendations will guide the refinement of the system before the next phase of implementation, subject to Government approval.

Recognition!. We commend the efforts by @MoLGUganda in our 6th independent review study. #MATIIP2 road projects scored 88% proactive disclosure practices. There was competitive procurement, and projects continue serving communities, years after completion. linkedin.com/posts/cost-ugan…
Study shows most #road projects had time overruns and contract extensions but no costoverruns. This points to improved financial discipline despite implementation challenges @MoLGUganda. Strengthening pre-construction risk assessments & contingency plans could sustain progress!
We believe our 2025 6th Independent Review study recommendations on #road projects with @MoLGUganda will improve transparency, reduce cost overruns, strengthen asset management, and improve infrastructure delivery. @BalaamBarugahar @JustineNameere

Did you know that when people have timely and reliable access to information, they are empowered to understand the services, programmes, and opportunities available to them? They can make informed decisions, participate meaningfully in public affairs, and hold institutions accountable for their actions.
Conversely, when information is inaccessible, citizens are often excluded from development initiatives that are intended to improve their lives. This widens inequality, limits participation, and weakens trust in public institutions.
