Speaking at the function held at Busabala Primary School, the President said government now has money to construct all roads in the country urging Ugandans to continue voting him for a secure future.
“All big roads will be worked upon. This road is near the scouts and girl guides base but a few years ago we got embarrassed when scouts from all over the world came and the road was not in good condition. When they return, they will find the road in good condition,”Museveni said.

The President also applauded the locals from the area where the road is going to pass for allowing to give away their land without being compensated first.
“It is not good to put the government on pressure for compensation. Let the project begin and we shall compensate you later,” he requested.
Museveni however asked that the road be used for transporting goods and services to the market, other than using it for rumor mongering.
