IF threats by the Walukuba LC3 chairman, Musisi Kibugujju, are anything to go by, the division engineer, Hassan Nyende, may be in serious trouble.
IF threats by the Walukuba LC3 chairman, Musisi Kibugujju, are anything to go by, the division engineer, Hassan Nyende, may be in serious trouble.
During a council meeting at Walukuba community centre in Jinja district on Monday, a tough-talking Kibugujju, who was irked by the slow pace of project implementation and the sub-standard work done by construction companies in the division, publicly cautioned Nyende to style up or be castrated.
“You should closely supervise the construction work. However, if we (division leaders) ever find out that the shoddy work was being done with your knowledge, we shall castrate you,†Kibugujju said, sending speaker Margaret Gune, who was chairing the meeting, assistant town clerk Ben Kulaba, councillors and members of the gallery into laughter.
Members wondered out loud whether it was a slip of the chairman’s tongue or if he actually meant it. Kibugujju’s face betrayed no emotion. The bespectacled Nyende just looked on, indifferent.
