Ministries to move to Nakasongola in phases toward 2040, Muhanga says

Government ministries and agencies are to move to Nakasongola in phases, with 2040 given as the long horizon, Minister Margaret Muhanga said this week. She said President Museveni is behind the shift. Kampala is congested. That much every taxi passenger already knows. Whether Nakasongola becomes a working capital or a cluster of empty shells depends on housing, schools, hospitals and a road that staff will actually use. For Kigezi listeners the practical question is services: will a land title, a passport or a ministry file be closer, or will it mean one more overnight bus toward the north? _Based on the 13 August government briefing._
