Mbale City residents and local leaders have protested the continued closure of Nabuyonga rise and Mugisu Hill roads saying the move has increased traffic jam and accidents in the central business town.

The roads were temporarily closed in October last year to allow rehabilitation works by Dott services and were supposed to be completed within two months .


Mr James Kutosi the City spokesperson says that Dott services diverted all its manpower to Naboa and Cathedral roads adding that he is also not sure when the rehabilitation will be completed.

However, an official from Dott services who preferred anonymity when contacted said they cannot associate with the failed project.
