MP Sebamala applauded for steering economic development in Bukoto Central

MASAKA — Bukoto Central Member of Parliament Richard Sebamala has been applauded by residents for supporting economic development in the constituency, largely through road works and financial assistance to local leaders.

Mr Sebamala, who is also a former Democratic Party presidential aspirant, has been helping leaders follow up government programmes, including Shs500,000 for fuel and transport for members of the roads committee as they monitor ongoing works. Residents also say he supported 200 villages during the election period.

Masaka District Chairperson John Kakande said most of the roads constructed in the area were secured through the MP. He said Sebamala lobbied for six roads under the Ministry of Works and Transport in 2024, when Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala was minister.

The roads — Kanamusabala, Bukunda, Kiteredde, Ttala, Luvunja and Kaluma — have improved access to markets, farms and trading centres in Bukoto Central, where many residents depend on road links for trade and movement.

Kakande said leaders must follow up government programmes so that infrastructure reaches the people it is meant for. “The roads have eased movement of people and goods and opened communities to wider economic opportunities,” he said.

For Bukoto Central residents, the MP’s support has become part of wider efforts to improve road infrastructure and strengthen economic activity in the constituency.
