LC arrested over robbery
BUSIA-After the recent arrest of the LC1 chairman, residents of Nangwe-Madibiria have blamed the increased cases of robbery in the village on their local leaders. The Police recently arrested David Ojusu on allegations that he had stolen a bicycle. The residents say the leaders are aware of the robberies and are part of the racket that robs and terrorises them. In a recent meeting at Nangwe Market, residents said the leaders hide the robbers.
Chief storms out of meeting
KAMPALA-Drama ensued in Makindye on Friday when the LC3 chief stormed out of a council meeting, accusing the speaker of sabotaging his development projects. Moses Kalungi had tabled a motion seeking council’s approval for a sh200m loan to buy land for sub-county projects. However, when he raised his hand again, speaker Richard Kalibala ignored him. Kalungi walked out of the meeting at St. Mbuga Primary School. He mobilised and addressed his supporters outside the meeting place.
Counties want district status
MUKONO-Buikwe and Buvuma counties have presented their requests for a district status to district speaker James Kunobwa. Kunobwa said to decide on the fate of the two counties would be fixed in a separate meeting soon. The requests have received mixed reactions from the top brass in the district, with the majority preferring independence of the two counties. Those who support the scheme argue that Mukono, with 28 sub-counties and municipalities and about one million people, is too big for effective management.
Ntungamo eyes new subcounty
NTUNGAMO-The district council has approved a plan to make Rwenyangi a separate sub-county out of Rukoni n Ruhaama County. The proposal was presented during a council meeting at the district headquarters recently.
