I had to go after your good writing, you see the problem you have here is
not a failure of local councils to use the equipments as needed, what you
have is a failure to recognize what governments can do and what they cannot
do. Governments are never business managers, they are only supervisors thus
they have no reason buying construction equipment. When the government buys
this equipment it must maintain it must repair it and run an entire process
of up keeping. But also if it owns the equipment and it fixes its roads, you
fail to get competition on price, and you lose the ability to tender in open
market for those jobs. So the government must never buy such equipment, it
only tenders out the jobs it needs to be done and it remains up and above
the supervisory role. The more departments you create the more people you
hire and you end up with a whole useless people working for government and
now you are breeding for corruption.
So the debate here must not be why LCs are not doing their jobs when they
have the equipments but why did or does the government buy the equipment at
all.

This equipment is merely misused; there was a case in Mukono where District
engineer coniving with Lukooya n Nankabirwa from Nkonkonjeru (this crook
later fell out with lukooya) hired out district machines to Jinja business
people privately while roads in mukono like Seeta-Bukerere road were in
sorry state. The money made was not reported to district finance office.
You find those graders on building sites n you think its making money for
the council, I wish there was a way of extending the Mamerito (Kiira-Kireka
Chairman) spirit among local councils, this guys does his job. He is among
the very few MRM productive heads.

Its very good news for district roads and the rural people.
Two things.
The first is a secret told to me by a client of mine long time ago.
When govts have road equipment, they are misused/abused. i.e. they are
driven for more than 5 km or some thing like that.
The road equipment is not supposed to be driven like a car or Lorry.
The road equipment is supposed to be loaded on to another long vehicle and
then transported to where its needed. when the excavator, bulldozer, load or
grader has done its work, its loaded on to anothet vehicle and taken
elsewhere. "Mr. Muwanga you see these govt drivers driving a TLB or grader
for 20km to go and buy Coca cola or buns for lunch and then drive another
20km to come back to site. This is what speeds up the wear and tear and
damages the road equipment.
The second is.
Districts should demand Paved, tarmac roads. Since Uganda is a wet country.
Even if you have a grader, once it rains one cannot do much about it. The
permanent soultion is Tarred roads in all districts.
In fact I am tempted to say that Doind an "Idi Amin" on these technocrats
might work. i.e. Here is the money. I want first class roads in all
districts or else..........! No excuses and these roads should be first
world and long lasting. if any road is repaired in less than 20 years you
are going to...$@% <mailto:to...$@%25> do you understand?
