    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue related to two bridges; namely, Mulwanda Bridge in Samia District and Sigiri Bridge in Bunyala District. In respect to Mulwanda Bridge, the Assistant Minister, in his Statement, has said that the Ministry has identified the need to construct this bridge and, therefore, designs will be carried out next year. But is the Assistant Minister aware that His Excellency the President had visited this place sometimes in 2009 and had, in fact, given a public direction that this bridge be constructed in order to connect Uganda and Kenya and open trade in that area? If so, what has been done since 2009 or was the presidential directive disregarded by his Ministry? On the issue of Sigiri Bridge, a boat capsized at this point and over 10 people died. The Assistant Minister has said that the design and documentation was concluded in 2009. How many people have died as a result of accidents at this particular bridge and how many will die before the bridge is finally constructed?"
