The central government in partnership with the Rukungiri district local government is working on the installation of an elevator lift on the district administration block to help the elderly and lame access offices in the upper floors.
The LC5 chairperson Geoffrey Kyomukama says that the need for a lift on the administration block is so essential because many people especially the elderly and lame have been having a hard time accessing some offices.
He commended the central and local governments for working together to put in place this elevator which will be commissioned in one month.
Speaking with our reporter, the Rukungiri district of Persons with Disabilities Association treasurer, Mr. James Obyolooba says that their association and councilors have been fighting for this and that they are happy that their request has been heard.
He added that this elevator, will not only help persons with disability but also other people who will need to access upper-floor offices.
Mr Tuhiirwe Fred an elder aged 79yrs says he has been having a hard time climbing the steps to the office of the chairman LC5.
He commended the district council for this achievement and said this will ease work and save time, especially for the lame and elderly.
The installation is to take one month.
