Local leaders in Tororo District have appealed to the State House Anti- Corruption Unit to investigate circumstances under which seven newly constructed bridges in various sub-counties have collapsed before being officially handed over to the authorities.
The collapsed bridges are Aderema in Kwapa Sub-county, Komolo in Mella Sub-county, Kennedy and Kadanya in Kalait Sub-county.
Others are Kanginima in Molo Sub-county, Matawa in Nabuyoga Sub-county and Angorom in Morukatipe Sub-county. The bridges were constructed by the Ministry of Works and Transport under the district roads rehabilitation unit in 2018/ 2019.
