MPs grill minister on poor road works

INFRASTRUCTURE - Members of Parliament have expressed concern on the bad state of newly constructed roads despite the country’s big expenditure on infrastructure. Most newly constructed roads have developed potholes few months after, MPs said. Finance Minister James Musoni allocated Frw103 billion, the biggest allocation, to the Infrastructure ministry in the 2008 budgetary proposals presented to the House on Monday. The deputies let out their concerns this week as the Minister of Infrastructure Stanislas Kamanzi laboured to explain the strides taken by his ministry in developing the country’s infrastructure.
