I commissioned the SGR construction project in Tororo District this afternoon, another right step towards rationalizing especially in the transport sector. Recently, there was a debate in Parliament regarding rationalization. Why are the Ministry of Transport and UNRA duplicating efforts? Rationalization helps to address such inefficiencies. This railway therefore is part of rationalization.
Our transport system is irrational. Roads are overcrowded with cars and cargo. This leads to slow movement, increased traffic, and damaged roads. To solve this, cargo must move to railways and waterways, while petroleum products will be transported through pipelines.
