Authorities in Chahafi Town Council, Kisoro District, are urging residents to work diligently and leave a positive legacy in their community.
This appeal was made following the installation of signposts on over 14 roads throughout Chahafi Town Council, honoring individuals who have significantly contributed to its development.
Dan Munyambabazi, the Chahafi Town Clerk, explained that the town council authorities adhered to the Local Government Act when selecting the honorees. He mentioned that the signposts, funded by the people whose names they bear, serve as both tributes to these contributors and directional aids for passersby./
In an exclusive interview, Munyambabazi highlighted ongoing developments, including the construction of town council offices. Over 62 million shillings have been spent so far out of the 93 million shillings required to complete the project. The construction is being carried out in phases to effectively manage the town council’s workload.
Chahafi Town Council LC3 Chairperson Nkunzimana Hadad emphasized that the individuals honored with signposts played crucial roles in the area’s development. He expressed hope that this recognition would inspire the community to work hard and leave a lasting legacy.
Former Speaker of Kisoro District Local Government, William Harelimana, stated that the signposts would provide clear directions and motivate younger generations to strive for further development and leave their own marks on the community.
In related news, Chahafi Town Council Community Development Officer Mbabazi Diana announced that women who visit new mothers in the hospital in large groups will be arrested, following a council resolution. Diana stated that this behavior has led to negative habits and morals among women, tarnishing the community’s image.
