原文原文 / Original TextResidents of Nsasa and Nabusugwe cells, located along the boundary between Mukono Municipality and Kira Municipality, have welcomed the government's decision to commence construction of a bridge at the Nakiyanja River crossing, ending a long-standing challenge that has disrupted transport, especially during the rainy season.
The Nakiyanja River, located in Goma Division within Mukono Municipality, forms part of the boundary between the two municipalities.
During heavy rainfall, the river frequently bursts its banks, flooding nearby homes, gardens and farmland. Residents say they often suffer major losses as crops are destroyed and roads become impassable.
Local residents report that flooding has repeatedly cut off access between the two areas. In one recent incident, Kira Municipality was isolated for nearly a week after the river overflowed.

They also point to ongoing security concerns in the area, including theft, kidnappings, shootings and the slaughter of stolen cattle.
Jonathan Ziribasanga, Chairperson of Jinja Nabusugwe Zone, said the Nakiyanja area has long been considered unsafe, especially at night, due to frequent attacks on residents and travelers.
He noted that motorists, particularly boda boda riders, have often fallen into the river during heavy downpours, while trucks transporting agricultural produce are sometimes forced to spend the night along the road waiting for floodwaters to subside.
