KIRA Town Council chairman Mamerito Mugerwa was on Friday sworn in.
At the function presided over by the chief administrative officer, Pius Epaju, Mugerwa promised to prioritise security, health, education and road maintenance.
“We are Mukono’s immediate neighbours where iron bar hit men are on rampage. So we have to work with the Police to improve security in our area,†Mugerwa said.
He also warned bar owners against selling alcohol during working hours, saying their licenses would be revoked if found culpable.
“Thugs tend to hide in bars and cinema halls during day and at night go out to terrorise people. We shall not allow that.â€
Mugerwa said he would ensure improved health services and called upon the Government to distribute health equipment and drugs according to the population in the beneficiary areas.
He added that he would also urge parents in Kira to send their children to school.
“The Government brought free education for all. So I want to call upon parents to embrace this opportunity. School going children should not be seen idle. When children do not go to school, insecurity increases in the area,†Mugerwa said.
Mugerwa will lead a 21-member council that is dominated by the opposition, with 11 from the Democratic Party, five from the NRM, one from FDC and four independents.
