A section of politicians in Lango have formed an advocacy group called “Lango Activists” that will be charged with monitoring Lira- Kamdini road project.
While addressing the press at Gilian Guest House in Lira city Wednesday afternoon the politicians who comprise members of UPC, NUP and NRM said they will work to ensure that the president’s directive on Lira-Kamdini road project which they have code-named; “Alidi Declaration” is fulfilled.
The groups’ secretary for publicity, Sarah Awor Angweri tasked Lango MPs to ensure government produces the new road design, the project budget, and the contractor to undertake the project among others.
The group team leader Isa Otto Amiza said they will continue pushing for their demands on Lira-Kamdini road project until the road is worked on.
Denis Opic Awio a member of the group said they will follow up on all development of Lira-Kamdini road after president Museveni directed that the World Bank funded project will now be taken up by the government.
Mawa Moses another member of the group rallied the people of Lango to continue demanding for developments from the government for the best of the region.
Yesterday while on the popular topical discussion program “Wimeja” on Voice of Lango 88 FM, Lango parliamentary group Chairperson Judith Alyek said they are following up on the directive issued by the president for government to take over of Lira-Kamdini road project from World Bank.
