The Member of Parliament for Aswa County in Gulu District Hon Simon Peter Wokorach is calling on the government to upgrade the 72-kilometer Gulu-Paicho-Palaro-Purongo road, emphasizing its vital role in tourism and connectivity between districts and South Sudan.
The road's poor condition has led to business closures and hindered healthcare services.
Wokorach highlights the road's importance, connecting to significant sites like the Sir Samuel Baker Fort. He urges the government to fulfill its commitment to upgrading the road, which serves as a crucial link between multiple districts and extends to South Sudan.
Notably, the Ministry of Works has initiated a feasibility study for the tarmacking of the Gulu-Moroto Road, indicating some progress in addressing the region's infrastructure needs.
However, the focus on the Gulu-Paicho-Palaro-Purongo road underscores the need for targeted investment in this critical route.
