By Ahmed AnguliboArua RDC Thomas Okoth Nyalulu, has told Arua Municipality LC4 councillors who may be money minded to resign “and leave the seats for people who can play sacrificial roles.”Nyalulu was on Wednesday officiating at the hand over ceremony from out going Arua Municipality mayor, Mr. Gabriel Okilla, to the new mayor, Mr. Kalifan Thabit, at the Mayor’s gardens.“The first role we expect from you is sacrifice in leadership not demand for money. If you don’t want to sacrifice, pack and leave. We shall ask the Electoral Commission chairman, Haji Aziz Kasujja, to organise fresh elections. Without sacrifice, we cannot develop this country”, Nyalulu told the councillors.He urged them to deliver if they are to be elected next time. He said councillors must acquaint themselves with the basic articles in Uganda’s Constitution and the amended Local Government Act 2000. He appealed to them to encourage education saying government’s current policy was to ensure that every Ugandan whether old must know how to write and read.Ends
