Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda

Prime Minister, Ruhakana Rugunda has said  government departments must base their strength on the  execution of work on the evidence based funds.

While opening a five day retreat for the assessment of government performance report for the financial year 2015-2016, the Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda on behalf of the vice president underscored the need to scrutinize the performance of all sectors.

He explained that government has been moving in circles in trying to find solutions for economic challenges this year, but this must stop if such annual reviews are to be of use.

This year’s review mainly focused on externally funded projects under theme: Realising results on public finance I investment, opportunities and challenges.

As the country moves to achieve the sustainable development goals by 2040 and clean water availability being among them, National Water and Sewerage Corporation is in advance stages of kick starting a mult-billion project of 160 million liters of water running from Katosi to Kampala through Mukono.

According to the corporation boss, Sylver Mugisha, they are soon putting up adverts calling for potential bidders for the project with the scrutinizing exercise expected to take three months before they can award contracts to those capable companies that will do the exact work of laying pipes among other necessary machines that will see water run all that distance to Kampala.

The project is aimed at serving water to areas of Kampala, Mukono, Sonde, Kawempe and Naguru.
