Operational Challenges affecting the road sector in Kasese district
- Heavy rains and floods; which disrupt road works
- Inadequate and weak road equipment; the district has only one grader which can be deployed on soft grounds yet the district has a rocky terrain. Besides the district has 23 rural sub counties and 3 urban councils which share this single machine.
- Mountainous terrain makes road opening difficult and vulnerable to erosion and landslides
- Late releases from central government
- Budget cuts
- Frequent breakdown of Road equipment
- Destruction of vegetation covers (Deforestation, bush burning, brick making and stone quarrying)
