President Yoweri Museveni has said it is high times Ugandans overwhelmingly vote for the NRM party as a payback for the development that the country has achieved in the last 35 years since 1986.
“We now have Jinja, Karuma, Pabbo, Masindi, Pakwach, Laropi and Paraa bridges across the Nile that we have constructed. I think it is wise and visionary for Ugandans to ensure they support NRM for doing what had defeated many governments here,” Museveni said while commissioning the new Isimba public bridge.
According to the President, in the past it would take one more than 90kms from Kayunga to Kamuli and then Jinja but noted the distance has been greatly reduced because of the new bridge.
“I am happy to commission this bridge considering how crucial it is to the people of this area. I must thank the Ugandan engineers who have showed that we can also do things on our own," Mr Museveni said.
