“Today, Egis, the contractor on Kampala-Entebbe Expressway, has collected seventy-five billion Ugandan shillings (UGX 75 B) on behalf of @UNRA_UG since tolling commencement on January 8, 2022,” reads the post.
“All tolling revenue is collected and immediately passed to the UNRA account, which directly credits the consolidated account of Uganda. Egis is paid separately by UNRA to operate and maintain the Kampala Entebbe Expressway,” they added.
They appreciated Ugandans for utilizing the expressway.
“We appreciate the people of Uganda, particularly the road users who have utilized the Expressway. Their support and dedication to this modern transport network reflect their commitment to the progress and development of the nation,” the contractor said.
