A petition has been filed at the Guild Tribunal at Uganda Christian University (UCU) alleging the misuse of the guild funds by the 26th Guild Government’s Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Nassozi Gelda.

The users of Bishop Tucker Road in Mukono have complained about the state of the road. Those who sell items on it are battling with thick layers of dust falling on their merchandise. Some electronics shop owners have had to resort to purchasing electric blowers to remove the dust that accumulates daily. The 4.7-mile road connecting the Kampala-Jinja highway to Namilyango, and which serves as the main route to Uganda Christian University (UCU) has become a source of frustration for the users. In December 2020, the situation improved when Mukono Municipality’s local council commenced renovations.

By mid-April 2021 however, the construction had stalled.
