Points of interest
[edit | edit source]The Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) has requested parliamentary approval to tarmac the Luweero–Butalangu Road from gravel surface to class II bitumen with drainage channels and culverts. The improvements are budgeted at US$40 million co-financed by the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), and are expected to last two years.[4]
A modern abattoir and meat-processing plant are planned within the town limits. The joint venture between Nakaseke District local government and Uganda Meat Producers Cooperative Union (UMPCU) is expected to receive donor assistance from Norway.[6]
