Walukuba School get classroom block worth sh56m

Walukuba East primary school administration has tasked Jinja Municipal Council (JMC) to open up boundaries of the school to avoid conflicts with people in the neighbouring communities.

While receiving a two classroom block worth sh56m from JMC officials on Monday, the school headmistress Rita Babirye Auce told the officials led by Jonathan Kamwana, the education officer that they don't know the boundaries of the school which has caused conflict with the neighbouring community.

She noted that they fear setting up any developments and that it had also attracted outsiders to trespass on the school land.

"We want council to come up and open the boundaries to the school because we don't know them. We expect JMC to also construct a fence around the school which will also help reduce on cases of trespass," she said.

Auce noted that they have received many complaints of pupils running from the school to go to the neighbouring Catholic Church where they steal sugar cane and that once they have a fence around the school they can easily monitor the pupils.

Rajab Kitto, the JMC senior public relations officer cautioned the school management authority to maintain the building and also equip it with furniture.

Kitto explained the contractor  that Fredrick Musenero of Zebra Associates managed to finish the construction works in the given time of three months
