Key among Uganda’s Government considerations is undertaking emergency maintenance of roads & bridges following destruction caused by recent flooding across the country. The rising water levels in Lake Victoria is threatening critical infrastructures. For instance, landing facilities were submerged & operations suspended. However, government is responding with restoration works on MV Kiyindi—Buvuma Ferry landing sites. See tweet below
