Residents of Ishongororo Town Council in Ibanda District are set to benefit from resolutions of the recently concluded NRM retreat at Kyankwanzi, according to the Town Council Mayor, Mr. Love Atukwatse Rutabajuka.
Mayor Rutabajuka, who also serves as the NRM District General Secretary for Ibanda, told our reporter today that President Yoweri Museveni directed all retreat participants to return to their communities and actively campaign against corruption.
He warned that corruption has become widespread, noting that it is now entrenched in nearly every government office, including those managing the Parish Development Model (PDM) and the District Service Commission.
Beyond the anti-corruption drive, the mayor highlighted two pressing challenges facing Ishongororo Town Council.
First, he cited the lack of electricity in Nyansimbo Ward, Kakyinga Health Centre II, and the Ishongororo Town Council Central Market. He appealed to the government and the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) to urgently address the issue.
Second, he raised concern over rising land conflicts in the town council. He attributed the disputes to parents who allocate land to their children without clear documentation, fueling family wrangles, as well as some LCI chairpersons who allegedly stamp fraudulent land titles.
