The Member of Parliament for Rushenyi County in Ntungamo District, Naome Kabasharira believes that  Government has tried to give services closer to people of Uganda in 60 years of Independence, however she insists that  there is still a lot of things that need emphasis if Uganda wants to achieve middle class income by 2040.

Speaking to our reporter recently, Kabasharira has revealed that Government has tried stability of peace and security in the 60 years of independence especially in this NRM leadership. That there has been freedom of access to court for justice.  While in her congratulatory message towards the 60 years of independence, Kabasharira added that there has been liberalisation where everyone has got an opportunity to lobby things from government and do them as an individual. That schools, hospitals, telecommunications have somehow been improved.

However, MP Kabasharira has also confessed that though government has tried to tackle some of the areas as far as service delivery is concerned, there is a lot of things that have not been achieved by Ugandans in the 60 years of independence  that need  to be focused on. She has highlighted about four things which this government must ensure that they are tacked to achieve middle class income by 2040. She said that there is unemployment which is the most challenge in Uganda.

Kabasharira has also said that there is something lacking in infrastructure, Hospitals, and electricity. That  these areas need to be improved such that Ugandans can reach far like where other countries like India, China or Europe have reached.

“I must tell u that our hospitals are still lacking some things, that there is need of more referrals.  Electricity have not outreached some areas which we must ensure that it is done at least by 2040. School fees are still high something that government must engage school owners to solve this matter. On issue of unemployment I urge our government to fight hard to overcome this challenge, our children are graduating every year but we have little job opportunities and this needs to be tackled as soon as possible” said Kabasharira.

Kabasharira has so far donated  about two ambulances to Rushenyi county in less than two years she has spent in the Parliament. She has done this to improve health services in her area.
