“The power and unity and giving back to the community were exhibited yesterday at Mbarara High School, where I represented the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni as old boys handed over a newly constructed Addis Ababa dormitory hall replacing the old one that was burned down years ago,” Thomas Tayebwa said.
The Deputy Speaker also revealed that the government will revamp the roads along Ruharo Hill, justifying that the hill plays host to very critical development infrastructure.
“The road infrastructure along Ruharo Hill will also be improved in the near future, as this hill plays host to very critical development infrastructure,” he said.
