In Mpigi District, three land dealers have been identified, and security agencies have been instructed to apprehend them. The Kisubi-Nakawuka-Nateete-Kasanje-Mpigi road project was allocated Shs430 billion for compensation of project-affected persons, exceeding the Shs340.5 billion contract sum for construction of the road. Byamukama says the government is also considering changing the road alignment to avoid areas where compensation costs have been inflated. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Noeline Nabukenya
