Speaking this, the Residents were witnessing the official survey by official from the Ministry of works and transport while surveying the construction of a 7km Buhara – Rwene Road that connects two parishes of Buhara-Rwene and Kaniga which is a border to Uganda and Rwanda in Kabale District.

They added that transport shoots up during rainy seasons and picking up a new patient from Buhara Sub-county becomes difficult.

According to casual laborers headed by Annah Kamusingize, Justin Tukamuhabwa, and Enid Tugume, said they say they have been struggling with transportation of their goods and patients.

They explained that ambulances charge them exorbitantly during rainy seasons due to the poor state of roads. They therefore, thanked the Kabale District Woman Mp Hon. Catherine Ndamira for remembering them like other sub counties by lobbying for them.
