INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY-PARKING YARD

Teso North District has a number of key investment opportunities that can help lift economic

standards of the district. Malaba border point lies in the District and lacks a modern parking yard

which can generate high amount of revenue and job opportunities as well.

The parking yard at the border is not enough to accommodate the trucks. In addition, 

washing of trucks has risen where even children drop out of school to start earning a living.

Washing of Lorries along the road poses so many hazards to the environment and to other road users. 

Truck drivers also face security challenges that range from fuel siphoning to theft of motor vehicle spares

and other personal effects. To avoid these, drivers endanger their lives by spending sleepless nights

guarding their Lorries.

Complains have been raised from road users and in the District Development Committee meetings, 

about traffic congestion and the parking of trucks which often cause accidents.
