Bod Boda Riders Urge Fixes for Igorora Road
Bod boda riders from the Igorora stage in Igorora Town Council, Ibanda South Constituency, Ibanda District, have voiced their concerns to local leaders about the poor condition of the Igorora-Keihangara-Rwomuhoro road.
In an interview with Kazo FM, the riders reported that during the rainy season, the road becomes waterlogged and is filled with potholes, particularly in Fundo Valley, which resembles a flooded area. They are urging their local leaders to provide culverts to improve the situation.
Fred Tumuhairwe, the chairman of the Igorora stage, stated that they have tried to fill the potholes with bricks and soil, but the road continues to be in a deplorable condition.
Mr.David Kataniisa, the Igorora ward councilor and secretary for social services in Igorora Town Council, also expressed his concerns, warning that the August rains are likely to render the road completely impassable, putting residents at risk and businesses at stake.
The Chairperson of LC5 Ibanda District, Happy Herbert Mayanja explained that plans are in place for renovations, but they are yet to secure funding.
Attempt to reach the Area Member of Parliament, Hon. John Paul Ninkusiima for his input on the matter were futile since his known contact numbers were not reachable.
