In a bid to stamp out over loading among transporters on Ugandan roads, the Uganda National Roads Authority is now set to acquire new six weigh bridges to help in taking weights on trucks along Uganda’s roads.

According to Eng. Geofrey Obara, the manager axle load control project, the new equipment will be planted on all major high ways which will be taking uniform measurements and  will be inter connected to each other for easy surveillance.

Obara says that they are also harmonizing laws on weigh bridges that will be used in all EAC member states. 

The authority is commissioning this weekend the Luwero weigh bridge which cost a total of 2.6 billion Uganda shillings.

Truck drivers have for long been complaining about the weighing bridges used by UNRA to take weight measurements which they say are inaccurate.

Works Minister - John Nasasira

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.

Nasasira said that in his term of office 1500 km of tamacked road were done and he added that he is happy with work he has done in the ministry of works related to road construction and improvement.

He also denied claims that he involved in influencing who is to win the tenders and contract for road construction.

In a related development Nasasira called for harmonisation and strengthening of multiparty Democracy in the country to avoid clashes between the opposition and the government. He says if possible, dialogue between the government and the opposition should be spear headed as provided in the constitution.
