State House Monitoring Team Expresses Concern Over Unfinished Gov't Projects in Namisindwa

The State House monitoring unit has expressed concerns regarding incomplete government projects in Namisindwa district. The team dedicated the entire Wednesday to inspecting government projects in Namisindwa district, including Bumbobi-Lwakhakha road, Namboko Seed School, Mukoto Seed School, Sono Health Center III, and the Parish Model Program.  

David Sengendo, an official from State House led the team, saying that their purpose for the visit was to inspect the government projects and report their findings to the president. He expressed their shock at discovering that the Bumbobi-Lwakhakha road has not been fully tarmacked up to Magale and Bumbo, despite reports indicating that the tarmacking had been completed.

In reality, it has only been completed up to the Lwakhakha border. Sengendo also revealed more concerning findings, such as Mukoto Seed School remaining incomplete after the contractor abandoned the site for unknown reasons, despite the government having allocated all the necessary funds. 

Sono Health Center III, located in Bukokho sub-county, is complete, but it faces challenges due to a shortage of health workers to handle the daily influx of patients.   Julie Namara, the Namisindwa Deputy Resident District Commissioner, urged the president to provide guidance on the next course of action after reviewing the report. 

She also expressed concern about a few individuals misusing government funds intended for specific projects, leading to incomplete work. Jackson Wakwaika, the LC 5 Chairperson of Namisindwa district, called upon the Office of the President to expedite the implementation of solutions outlined in the report, suggesting that those responsible for the incomplete projects should be held accountable. 

He emphasized that incomplete projects not only cost the government but also negatively impact the local community in terms of accessing essential services.
