{UAH} 35 NRM YEARS = 411 PREVIOUS REGIME YEARS

Patrick, 

Very interest stats. Yes, there's evidence of those roads like Mityana - Fort Portal, Soroti - Lira and Soroti - Moroto Roads which are really great and have reduced travel time. I hope the quality of work will allow them to last for decades without need for repairs in a short run. 

I am not sure if ever observed the Mbale - Soroti road before and after NRM. Before NRM, that road never had pot-holes for decades and one wondered what expertise was applied. It was always a pleasure to travel through it. Fast forward, whatever happened to our planners, the DOTT Services were awarded that contract to "reconstruct" same road in 2013.Before even 5 years had passed, the road was worse than the Mityana - Fort Portal Road before NRM came, you know how bad that road was. 

It is important that quality and quantity be maintained otherwise those thousands of kilometres of butimen will be costly as we have to reconstruct them anew. 

The NRM has enjoyed a long uninterrupted stretch of time in power unlike the other post independence regimes, 7 in number from 1962 to 1986? Some of them as short as 68 days, 6 months, 1 year. One wonders what development work such governments could have done in such short period of time. 

Only God managed to create the entire universe in only 6 days!

Common question whenever a new road project is launched:

 "What has the NRM achieved in 35 yrs?"

My answer:

"In the road sector, the NRM has achieved what would have taken past regimes to the year 2397 AD."

REPORT CARD:

All the governments that ruled from the declaration of the Protectorate in 1894 to Jan 1986 provided us with 987 km of tarmac roads. That is in 93 years. Every year they paved an average of 10.6 km.

At that pre-1986 bitumenising rate, the NRM would have been expected to tarmac 371 km of roads.

But what's the reality? Now Uganda has 5350 km of bitumen. That means  post-1986 has added on 4,363 km, far far higher than the expected 371 km at the pre-1986 pace.

 By paving 4,363 km, the NRM road bitumenisation rate is 1,076% higher than that of its predecessors. The NRM's predecessors would have taken 411 years to tarmac roads that have taken the NRM 35 yrs to tarnac. What NRM has achieved as of 2020 they would have achieved in 2397 AD!
