President Museveni and his government are to build a new prison meant to decongest Luzira Prison in Mityana district. The sources in government tell us that the new prison will cost President Museveni and his government over 8 million shillings.

Uganda Prison’s boss, Johnson Byabashaija says that the new prison will address the issue of over congestion at Luzira prison and asked the citizens to support the programme.

According to the sources in the ministry of Justice, the new prison will accommodate hardcore criminals, rebels, and capital offenders. He says that the government is also planning to build other prisons in Kasanje and Kigo.

We have been told that the government is planning to work with donors and the private sector in constructing these prisons.
