Members of Parliament have urged the government to repair all collapsed bridges and fix all deteriorating roads in the country, not just Katonga.
They made the plea during a plenary session where they made submissions on the poor state of roads in their respective constituencies.
Led by Speaker Anita Among, the legislators said it was important that the government does good quality work while repairing the roads.
She ordered the government to provide a statement on how they are dealing with the current crisis of poor roads and collapsed bridges caused by flash floods.
Leader of Opposition in Parliament Mathias Mpuuga said he would wait for the government to give its statement and prepositions before providing his personal alternative solutions to the problem.
Ronald Nsubuga (Nakawa Division East) said the government should quickly resolve the issue of poor roads because of the effect they have on lives.
Kassanda District Woman MP Flavia Kalule said several women who were transacting business along the road, could no longer fend for their families after losing their daily incomes.
The Bukomansimbi North MP, Ms Christine Ndiwalana, urged the Ministry of Health to provide standby medical teams and transport means to handle emergencies in the most affected areas which do not have immediate access to the alternative routes.
