DCAO Rwakijuma Calls for Strengthened Project Monitoring in Kyengera Town Council

The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, Kiiza Godfrey Rwakijuma, has called for strengthened monitoring of government projects in Kyengera Town Council to enhance service delivery and accountability
During an inspection tour on Tuesday afternoon, Rwakijuma emphasized that monitoring should be a shared responsibility among all civil servants. He noted that consistent oversight is critical for maintaining standards and ensuring value for money in public expenditure.
He expressed concern over delays in the collection and submission of data under the Parish Development Model (PDM), directing officials to compile and submit reports on a monthly basis to improve accountability and streamline implementation.
On infrastructure development, Rwakijuma urged leaders to adopt proactive measures such as early demarcation of road boundaries and timely opening of access routes to facilitate smooth project execution. He also tasked local officials with staying fully informed about all ongoing projects within their jurisdictions to strengthen supervision and coordination.
Among the projects inspected was the construction of a new administrative building for Kyengera Town Council, being undertaken by Crossland Construction Limited at a cost of UGX 249 million. The project is approximately 85 percent complete and has entered its sixth phase, which includes tiling, painting, installation of doors and windows, as well as mechanical and electrical works. Rwakijuma urged leaders to ensure the building is occupied before May, emphasizing the need for accountability at all levels.
He also commended ongoing urban beautification efforts within the town council.
At Busawuula Primary School, Rwakijuma noted that despite the construction of two new classroom blocks—one funded by the district and another through local revenue—the school continues to face a shortage of teachers and lacks a reliable water source. He further discouraged the recording of ungraded or “failed” results, urging improvements in academic tracking and performance.
Meanwhile, at Nsangi Primary School, construction of an 80-metre perimeter wall is ongoing in two phases funded through local revenue. Phase one, covering 40 metres, is budgeted at UGX 36 million, while phase two is estimated at UGX 43 million, according to Town Engineer John Kigongo. However, the school still faces challenges, including the absence of a functional electricity transformer, as highlighted by headteacher Dan Ssekamate.
District leaders reaffirmed their commitment to improving service delivery through stricter oversight, timely implementation of projects, and enhanced coordination across all levels of leadership.
