THE first phase of a sh800m storied office block for Tororo municipal council has been completed.
The municipal authorities took the decision to construct a new office block after the old one, inherited from the colonial government, became congested.
Tororo municipal engineer James Katumba on Tuesday said on average, a single office room in the old office block was being occupied by three departments.
The final touches yet to be done on the new office ground floor that has the capacity to house 10 offices, include fixing glasses on the shutters and installation of electricity and plumbing system.
The civil works which started in June last year, was expected to be completed in June this year.
The municipal treasurer, Joseph Baraza, said the funds used in facilitating the office extension block were apportioned under the Peace, Recovery and Development Programme (PRDP) and unconditional grants allocated to the municipal council by the central government.
