DRC ROADS PROJECT: Civil society activists back govt plan
Last week, parliament approved UGX 200 billion as part of the financing to surface over 200 Kilometres (124 miles) of roads inside the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with a keen eye on enhancing trade between the two countries. Civil society budget advocacy chairperson and Uganda debt network director of programs Julius Kapwepwe says the estimated UGX 1.2tn expenditure is justified and sits well within the EAC integration and ACFTA strategy.
