Constraints of performance of works sector
• Repair of road equipment, process takes a very long time especially for major repairs.
• URF funds are mainly for maintenance of roads leaving rehabilitation and construction of roads not catered for.
• Low funding-funds released do not cover the whole network.
• Budget cuts-funds are not released as planned hence leaving other projects pending.
Water transport
Since part of the district is in lake Victoria with the islands of jagusi part of its administration, the district has some boats to enable it carry out administrative work. There are 02 boats under the health department and another 01 for fisheries with one driver to man and take care of them. However the transport costs along the lake are still very high and this over strains the citizens especially those in the islands hence there is need for government intervention to buy a ferry which can give services to the people between the different landing sites and islands at low costs.
Water development
The district has a number of water sources but the bore holes take the largest share of about 35% of safe water and only baitambogwe Sub County has taped water.
