West Budama South MP Jacob Oboth Oboth has Thursday said that they no longer have sex with their spouses because of terrible traffic jam on Jinja Road in Kampala.
The Chairperson of the Committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs wondered that the traffic could be a planning method of sorts.
The MP opposed government’s delayed construction of Shs3.6trillion ($1bn) Kampala-Jinja Expressway which is expected to become a major gateway for all imports and exports into and out of the country.
“To move from here [Kampala] to Mukono you need 5hours yet other roads have been worked on but this road that feeds the country has been neglected. Why is government shifting from its earlier position? Or is it a deliberate effort to leave easterners stunted?”
“The jam on Kireka-Mukono road has turned into some kind of family planning. If you have not produced children then you should not stay along Kireka road. People are not having ‘morning glory’ because they have to wake up early to beat the jam. And there is also no ‘evening glory’ because you will delay in jam,” Oboth said as MPs burst into laughter.
“We need to know from Ministry of Finance if this is a deliberate family planning method. Why do you take us lightly? What kind of planning is this, is it family planning? We need this [road] to be done. If you want to reduce the population of the people from the East then you should tell us.”
Oboth further wondered why government was resorting to Public-private partnership yet parliament had approved a loan for construction of Kampala-Jinja Expressway.
