Transport operations along Nateete-Nakawuka Road have been severely disrupted due to the ongoing construction of the Nateete-Nalukolongo water channel, leaving commuters frustrated by skyrocketing transport fares and slow progress on the project.
Residents and traders who rely on the route report that travel costs have doubled, with fares jumping from UGX 3,000 to UGX 6,000, as vehicles struggle to navigate the damaged and congested road. The construction, awarded to a Chinese contractor, has dragged on for three months with little visible progress, raising concerns over delays and inefficiency.
