Ministry of Local Government hands 27 motorcycles to Subcounty, Town Council and Municipal Chairpersons to monitor government programs

The Minister for Local Government has today handed over 27 brand new motorcycles to Subcounty, Town council and Division Chairpersons in Wakiso District to help them in monitoring government programs and mobilization of the masses.
The Minister who was represented by the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Local Government Benjamin Kumumanya called upon the chairpersons to use the motorcycles for their intended use.
Kumumanya promised the local government leaders that the ministry will work on issues affecting Wakiso District due its unique nature.
The Woman Member of Parliament Betty Ethel Naluyima reminded the Minister to work on the issue of late releases of funds which are collected by the Lower Local Governments adding that this has crippled service delivery in most local governments.
She also appealed to the ministry to sort out the issues of boundaries since KCCA is always encroaching Wakiso areas of Bulenga and Najjera in Kira Municipality.
The District Chairperson Dr. Matia Lwanga Bwanika appealed to the Minister to consider Wakiso as a National District which should be uniquely considered but disregard its voting pattern.
The Chief Administrative Officer Alfred Malinga expressed gratitude to government for providing transport means to chairpersons.
He said they chairpersons should set up efforts in monitoring government programs like Parish Developing model, Emyooga, Education, health and microscale irrigation among others.
