Kamuli LC5 chairperson Kaloli Dhizaala has pledged to restore public confidence in the corruption-riddled district service commission, while also rejuvenating community service and engagement, locally known as 'Bulungi Bwansi', as a way of enhancing public participation, responsibility and demand-driven accountability.
In the speech he delivered after taking oath on May 15, 2026, Dhizaala said his tenure, dubbed 'Kisanja Return Hope', would be centred on service delivery, with more time spent engaging communities and solving residents’ challenges.
“I came to serve with passion, commitment and voters’ indebtedness and remain committed to our Bulungi Bwansi flagship for collective accountability. Today marks the Holy service matrimony, end to job sales, birth of value for money and accountable leadership,” Dhizaala, the former Kamuli town clerk, said.
He pledged to usher in a credible district service commission to address service delivery gaps, but warned that bribery would not be tolerated.
“Nobody should offer a bribe because both the giver and receiver will be charged,” he warned.

Dhizaala also called on civil servants to embrace ethical conduct, proper time management and value for money in public service. He urged technocrats to focus on service delivery and prudent management of resources rather than allowances, saying this would help restore public trust and improve the district’s image.
Kamuli chief magistrate Paul Owino Abdonson warned the new leaders about the legal implications of taking oath, urging them to serve in accordance with the law and remember that leadership is a calling to serve people while fearing God.
Dhizaala named his executive committee, featuring Peter Namuboneyo as vice chairperson, Brian Basimba as secretary for social and community services, Justine Mpindi as secretary for works, production and technical services, and Sarah Sambya as secretary for finance, planning and administration.
Betty Mutesi and Asumani Nololo were elected speaker and deputy speaker, respectively.
