They accuse their leaders of failing to take sufficient action to rehabilitate the roads, many of which have not seen any maintenance in over twenty years, rendering them nearly impassable.
Many of the roads in the area have become impassable following floods that devastated the area in recent months. They include, among others, the Lumbugu-Buyamba-Lwamaggwa road, which connects to Lyantonde district which was ruined by the floods from Lake Kijjanebarola.
Reports indicate that Asinansi Kamanda Nyakato, the FDC candidate in the Hoima Parliamentary race had been blocked from accessing radio stations across the district. FDC supporters claim that the move was planned by the government through the district security committee which issued a directive to proprietors of all the radio stations to block Nyakato’s access.
