President Museveni has hinted at plans to have roads constructed in the Central African Republic to link Uganda with the landlocked country.
Museveni says that together with his Central African Republic counterpart Faustin-Archange Touadéra, they will engage the leadership of the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan to allow the roads to connect through their countries.
“Together with CAR, we want to persuade the governments of Congo and South Sudan that we work on the roads from Arua (northern Uganda) to Isiro (Congo) and then to Obbo (CAR),” Museveni said.
“Then we need to persuade South Sudan for a road through Yei, Maridi and Yambio…up to CAR. Then, the East Africa Community (EAC) will be linked by road to CAR and beyond,” he elaborated.
The President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, attended the 62nd Independence Day celebrations at Busikho Primary Teacher College in Busia District.
