Residents with placards written on “water is life, We need water at Hamuhambo, politics are over now we need water” made a procession in Hamuhambo town council with the district councilors Drake Diaz Owoyesigire, Gillian Tusingwire and Hamuhambo town council Charperson LC3 Aggrey Bandebaho.
Keneth Ndamwesiga a resident say when the project is transferred to national water they will be buying and they don’t have any source of income but when the project is worked on by the district they will be getting it at no cost.
Jackline Kyarimpa, Winnie Nganyire and Nkunda Fabiano other residents says she is very older and can’t move a distance of 10 km to fetch water.
Drake Diaz Owoyesigire said that the council passed the resolution out of ignorance because it was not on order paper and vowed to sue them if they fail to overturn the resolution.
But Ampeire Stephen Kasyaba the Rubanda district Lc5 chairperson said that local governments does not take up projects that are beyond 500million and Bushura water scheme project will cost 6million.
Kasyaba added that the district gets 350 million water granting per financial year so if taken to Bushura gravity flow scheme will suffocate other places and there will be no equity.
