<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe President thanked former Kampala Capital City Authority Executive Director, Jennifer Musisi, for working on roads within Kampala the Kafumbe Mukasa road. He said government would construct another fly overfor Busega-Kibuye Road and expand the old road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe construction of modern roads has started. Earlier we were just beginning but we have now started and will not just stop there,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni said that in the future after the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway, all cargo will be transported by rail and water transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we complete the railway, we shall insist that all cargo\nuses rail and water transport so that the roads do not tear,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President used the occasion to wish the people of Uganda a merry Christmas and urged them to maintain peace and report to security agencies any wrong elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister of Works and Transport, Engineer Monica Ntege Azuba, said that the ceremony was a clear indicator of the success and effectiveness of the partnership that has been established between the Governments of Uganda and Japan over the past 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She thanked the people of Japan for sacrificing their hard earned money to support an infrastructure project of this magnitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know for sure, that this project will significantly contribute to the economic development of Uganda and hence poverty reduction,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She explained that a sound road transport infrastructure was critical to achieving the national aspiration of a strong, private sector-led growth that contributes to economic development and poverty reduction because Uganda still relies on its road network for the movement of over 90% of its goods and passenger traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Japanese Ambassador to Uganda, Mr. Kazuaki Kameda, said that his government was committed to supporting the development of Uganda and that the project would help Uganda address the huge economic losses accruing from traffic congestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas the Uganda National Roads\u2019 Authority will be responsible for managing the overall construction supervision because of the availability of its skilled and experienced, Engineers, Kampala Capital City Authority(KCCA) on the other hand will second key staff during construction who will,later after completion, be responsible for the operation and maintenance and may seek support from Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will provide observations and measurements (O&M) equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Kampala City Authority, Hon. Beti Kamya, State Minister for Works, Gen. Katumba Wamala, NRM Secretary General, Hon.
