Speaking to journalists today, Thursday, July 17, 2025, during an ongoing tour of the project, Mr. Mulowa has also disclosed that 110 kilometers of the road have already been tarred.
Meanwhile, RDA Senior Engineer for Public-Private Partnership Implementation, Kakoma Kalengo, says an independent engineer is monitoring the quality of the works.
