GOVERNMENT STARTS CONSTRUCTION OF THE BKK FERRIES IN BUYENDE DISTRICT.

 

During the ground-breaking ceremony at Bukungu Landing Site, State Minister for Transport Fred Byamukama said the ferries are meant to support the economic activities in the areas after their completion in 2023.

The two ferries under construction (Bukungu-Kagwara-Kaberamaido, BBK) will cost Shs. 41bn Ugandan Shillings and will facilitate trade and development of districts within their destination routes by encouraging both local and foreign investors.

This will ensure affordable transport for residents within three districts of Buyende, Kaberamaido and Serere where transport costs have been high making movement of people with their goods inevitable.

Each ferry will consist of three decks with a minimum capacity of 310 passengers, 14 small cars and 50-tonne trucks in a single route, sheltered sitting areas, rest rooms, washrooms, adequate life jackets and a rescue boat.

Ferries are part of the pledges made by President Museveni since 2000 and have steadily taken shape.

SPIRE SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE FOOT

  Spire the renowned lecturer enjoys from his sweat, he does not embrace the lecture rooms for free, and this guy knows how to feast on the flesh of his young barmy sex fresh juices from high school. He ably does it with a lot of satire in that he makes jokes and cartons about it. In one of his cartons he is seated face to face with a one Mbabazi a student of philosophy at one of the Universities he lectures. Where he sarcastically asks the student where the “V” is for “M”.   Little did he know that this same young girl is a sister to a one Tukundane Perry from Makerere. Who says repeatedly had retakes and Spire always shagged her promising to give her marks in return. She says with the number of girls he has used the marks attained from his lectures are questionable. Perry with this history was compelled to warn her sister about Spires’s trickeries of getting into the girls skirts.   Perry had once faced Spire’s jiggling stick and gotten pregnant by him ...
