Local leaders in Nabilatuk district are pushing for the halting of the operations of Kibrut Company limited contracted to rehabilitate 47 kilometers Nabilatuk-Moroto road.

Paul Lokol the district chairperson says works on the road worth 5.7 billion shillings were to be completed by 2021 but the company has since failed to complete the works, something the leaders say has frustrated business and transport in the district.

Lokol adds that the stalled works have also caused an upsurge in road accidents along the road, with up to 5 cases registered on a daily basis, caused by heaps of marram.

He noted that the company only embarks on the work after complaints are raised by local leaders.

The district chairman says as leaders, they want the contract terminated, adding that and his office is in consultations with the office of the RDC to forge ways that will see UNRA take over the works for fast completion.
