Excitement As Road Rehabilitations Commence in Terego District

Road works in the Terego district have commenced exciting residents. 

The roads are Owaffa-Ejome, Awanja-Issa and Ajiraku-Oyea in Uriama, Bileafe and Uwaffa Counties and will be rehabilitated at 368.4 Million Shillings.  

Annet Olema, the Principal Secretary in the office of CAO Terego district, said that the delays in routine maintenance were a result of financial constraints. 

Charles Adebua a resident of Ejomi Village in Uriama Sub County appreciated the government for the initiative of planning a comprehensive rehabilitation of the Owaffa-Ejome road that was impassable, especially during rain seasons.

David Ezati another resident of Edrayio village states that upgrading the road is going to facilitate free movement to access health facilities and minimize accidents due to the bad roads.

“Everywhere there were potholes which were damaging bicycles and motorcycles. After the journey, you feel back pain and generally, we were at risk,” Ezati stressed.

72-year-old Ahmad Asindua from Edayi parish says that the previous upgrading that was done failed to meet standards because of poor workmanship.

“We have lost lives and other people are crippled due to accidents on the road we are tired of making the road rough, uncompressed to be destroyed by rain easily,” Asindua noted.

Solomon Toko the LCIII Chairman of Bileafe Sub County noted that rehabilitating busy roads is ideal for fostering revenue enhancement and boosting service delivery.

Terego was curved out of Arua in 2020 but continues to experience setbacks in development due to limited resources and access to road equipment.
