Tewali budde! No time for nonsense! We demand service delivery. Period. 4 districts completed. 142 to go. We will reach every corner of this country. To those serving our people diligently: we will support you to serve even better. To those stealing public funds: take note. We are not polite and will deal with you decisively. End of story.

Today, while inspecting a bridge project in Bulambuli Town Council under our national “Expose the Corrupt in Local Government” campaign, we uncovered serious irregularities. The bridge that was constructed is only about half the size of what was specified in the approved Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Even more disturbing, the contractor used black soil as the foundation and final connecting layer instead of the required hardcore and swamp reinforcement materials, in complete disregard of the approved engineering specifications. These actions have caused Government an estimated loss of UGX 500 million and represent a blatant misuse of public funds. The Bulambuli Town Council Engineer and the Town Clerk have fled and are currently on the run. They will be apprehended and held accountable, together with anyone else found to have participated in this fraud. This is exactly why we launched the “Expose the Corrupt in Local Government” campaign. Those who steal from the people and compromise public infrastructure will face the full force of the law. Every shilling of taxpayers’ money must work for Ugandans.
