Nasasira made the remarks while taking oath as the Member of Parliament for kazoo in kiruhura district where he was accompanied by his daughters.

He said that if the funds are available in the next one year, there will be no potholes on the main roads in the country and after three years potholes will be history in Kampala since the city will have its minister.
