Poor lighting on the highway in Kampala was seen as the major cause of accidents in the city, particularly the Entebbe Expressway. The MPs have charged the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) to come up with strategic and corrective measures to address the challenge of destruction on the expressway which among others includes resorting to alternative construction materials that are not attractive to vandals.
This was disclosed during a meeting with officials from UNRA directed by Minister of Works and Transport Gen Katumba Wamala on the operations and maintenance of the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway held on Tuesday, 14 February 2023.
