Gulu City to Procure Shs1.1 Billion Grader for Street Maintenance
Procurement Process Completed
Gulu City plans to procure a grader worth 1.1 billion shillings to improve street maintenance and cleanliness.
Notably, the procurement process is complete, while funding now depends on local revenue collection.
Gulu’s Reputation as a Clean City
Currently, Gulu stands as a model city, and other urban centers use its cleanliness as a benchmark.
Moreover, the town clerk, Innocent Ahimbisibwe, confirmed that the procurement process is in its final stage.
Additionally, the grader will improve street cleanliness and accelerate road construction across the city.
Local Revenue Collection Below Target
However, local revenue collection remains below the expected target despite the city’s strong performance.
Specifically, Gulu City targets 6 billion shillings this financial year.
So far, the city has collected only 2 billion shillings, which falls far short of the goal.
Concerns Over Funding for Key Projects
Consequently, the revenue shortfall has raised concerns about funding key projects, including the grader purchase.
Nevertheless, the town clerk remains optimistic about meeting the remaining revenue target soon.
Impact of the Machine on Infrastructure Projects
Once acquired, the machine will help maintain clean streets and speed up road construction works.
Furthermore, the machine will support timely completion of critical infrastructure projects.
Future Prospects for Gulu’s Development
As Gulu continues to grow, the road laveller will play a vital role in sustaining infrastructure quality.
Therefore, residents and city leaders hope to secure funds soon and deploy the grader in coming months.
