The Committee that was led by the Bufumbira South MP, Alex Niyonsaba Seruganda visited the Bunagana border point on the DRC side, and were surprised by the splendid buildings, compared to only one small structure erected on the Ugandan side, of poor standard.
Hon Seruganda, while concluding the visit at Bunagana said that it’s absurd that the works on Uganda’s side are embarrassing, yet there one funder for both projects. He promised to follow up the matter to the highest level.
On the concerns raised by border officials, Hon Seruganda appealed to his fellow MPs to support him in raising such matters in Parliament, including the need for a scanner, gates at the border, accommodation among others.
