“The following were the
key issues raised by the concerned citizens of Kanyamukura Village.
”Our
roads are impassable, slippery and they
flood during rainy seasons, we have encountered this problem for many years but our elected
leaders have not done a lot to lobby for the construction of the main road that
connects to the town council.We request our elected leaders to consider this
road in the next financial year”. Said Kabatuuku
Jamimah a citizen of Kanyamukura Village.
Jamimah
further said due to the nature of the roads pregnant mothers have suffered a
lot when the due time reaches, some women have restored to avoid going for
antenatal check ups and some have even refused to deliver in health centre’s
because the roads can’t allow them to move freely to access services. We request
the district to work on this road.
“We raised concerns as community members on the issues of Rebisengo to Kanyamukura road we wrote to the district duty bearers but they have failed to help us on that issue as leaders at a lower level we can’t do anything now other than waiting and reminding the leaders all the time” Said Kyomuhendo A LC1 chairperson Kanyamukura 2 in Rwebisengo.

Leaders
promised to work on Kacwankuna road
during the last campaigns but up to now it’s in a sorry state which is
even a problem to farmers .We request duty bearers to come back on ground and
give accountability,” Said Kato Robert during the rural
debate in Ntoroko district.
“The
only primary school we have in Kanyamukura village has only four class from 1-4 classes and after P.4
children walk long distances to access education in Rwebisengo town council
which is a challenge to our children and this has resulted into high dropouts of
both girls and boys who can’t afford to move to town council to access other
classes on this note we request duty bearers and DEO Ntoroko district to lobby for a better primary schools with all classes
in this village”. Said Mutegeki Ronald.
“We don’t have any secondary school in Kanyamukura village student’s move 30km to access secondary school which is very costly. We request government to construct a secondary school in our area to solve school dropout challenges within our area”. Said Sight Tagga during the rural radio debate.
“Kanyamukura primary school the structures are
badly off and they have cracks.We request district education department to work
hand in hand with the head teacher to overcome this challenge.”Said Pastor Benjamin.
