The Kagua Police Station in the Kagua-Erave District of Southern Highlands Province, is undergoing its first major renovation in years, thanks to crucial funding support from the provincial government.

The refurbishment of the run-down facility is currently underway, with local youths from the surrounding Kagua station area carrying out the manual labor.

The workers have been actively engaged by Quick Engineering & Construction, a local contractor based out of Rogoma Wards 1 and 2.

Owen Robola, Managing Director of Quick Engineering & Construction, confirmed that the provincial government allocated K200, 000 for the project.

This funding is part of an ongoing provincial initiative aimed at bolstering law and order enforcement within the district.

The scope of the project covers multiple areas of the facility.

Laborers are currently repairing and painting the perimeter of fencing, while vital building maintenance, plumbing upgrades, and other structural repairs are proceeding steadily and will continue over the coming days.

This intervention by the provincial government is seen as highly timely by local residents.

The Kagua station area was recently devastated by a tribal conflict, which left the district headquarters in complete disarray.

Compounding the area's leadership challenges, the local Member of Parliament for Kagua-Erave, Maina Pano, was also sidelined months ago by the Court of Disputed Returns.

Ken Kewa, a youth representative from Kunu village in Rogoma Ward 2, expressed deep gratitude to the provincial government for providing the assistance needed to restore the infrastructure of law and order.

Kewa noted that while previous recipients of public funds often failed to deliver tangible results, Quick Engineering & Construction wasted no time in mobilizing its workforce and engaging local youth.

He further assured the public that youths from all across the Kagua station area are participating in the renovation efforts, demonstrating their collective commitment to helping local police restore peace and normalcy to the district headquarters.
