By Baker Okello Lira City Development Forum (LCDF) President Akeny Emmanuel has revealed plans to give out contacts of all Lango MPs to the community to directly pressure them to deliver the access roads to Akii-Bua Stadium. Adressing Media at Lira City council, Akeny stressed that while the Egyptian contractor SAMCO is building the Shs470bn stadium now at 85% complete, with the handover slated forJan 2, 2027, the company was not mandated to build the connecting roads. Among the 9 priority roads they want constructed before AFCON July 2027 include: Ireda Shamba (2.1km), Lumumba Ogengo (2.5km), Boroboro (5.2km), James Ajal (2.5km), Won Nyaci (1.7km), Erute (1.7km), Dokolo (0.5km), Moroto (1.5km), and lGapco Odokomit (1.5km). They also expressed commitments to formally Petition President Museveni effective of Monday for 18.3km of access roads that were dropped from the stadium contract Other advocacy strategies are: daily engagement with Lango MPs for resource allocation and weekly press briefings. Akeny also urged media houses in Lango to use Radio station, TV and social media platforms like Facebook / X / TikTok / WhatsApp groups to inform and mobilize the community to advocate for constructiono of roads leading to the Stadium. Meanwhile Mr.Ogweng Emmy, the representative of the forum at higher institution and a lecture at Lira University appealed to government to also include roads that lead to Lira University AFCON training facility. Ogweng said Lira University will host teams, diplomats and officials during AFCON 2027, but the roads connecting the university to the main highway and to its training facilities are in poor state. The Secretary, Mr. Opio Leonard warned that poor, narrow and flooded roads could block access for international teams and fans. END
