SERERE: The former member of parliament for Serere county Mr.Charles Peter Koluo has accused the technical team in the ministry of water and environment over shoddy work on the Shs1bn irrigation system.
Mr.Koluo told the members of parliament on Agricultural committee that the Shs1bn facility was done poorly adding that the pipe that supposed to get water from the lake has now started bringing Madsoli with the low pressure.
According to Mr.Koluo his bold complain has made the engineers from the ministry of water and environment attacking him and threatening him something he said he’s was not bothered.
“What you see from this dam is just a picture but there’s no enough water coming out of that dam, because the ministry of water engineers have since refused to take the main pipe inside the lake where it would get enough water but they refused,”-he told the Mps.
He added that he has on several occasions raised this but instead the technical team from ministry of water and environment take it as political,.
Moses Omoding another farmer said although the system is helping people but not all people are enjoying it adding that during rainy season, the system tries to work but when its dry season it dries up.
“There’s something not correct during the construction of the system but people from the ministry of water don’t want to be challenged, they want the community to keep quite even if the something is wrong,”he said.
