"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that my Ministry, through the Permanent Secretary, wrote a letter on 18th September, 2008 addressed to the hon. Member. With your permission, I wish to read it out as follows:- âI refer to your letter dated 7th August, 2008 on the above subject matter. The upgrading of roads as mentioned in your letter, that is, Mbale â Magada and Bukuga â Magada roads are fully under the purview of the District Roads Committee for maintenance. The Ministry has no funds to prioritize the same for maintenance and development under the Treasury development ceilings of this financial year 2008/2009.â The last paragraph which the hon. Member has quoted reads as follows:- âHowever, the Ministry will consider the same for upgrading under the Roads Sector Investment Project which is currently being prepared.â Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have just concluded the Roads Sector Investment Programme and as soon as it is ready, we will table it before this House. Clearly, there was no firm commitment to fund these roads."
