MAYOR KABALE MUNICIPALITY BYAMUGISHA SENTARO

Operation wealth creation officials have come under fire from leaders
in Kabale Municipality for sidelining them from the project.
The program, which seeks to create wealth in households and
Government, initiated the program after resolving National
Agricultural Advisory Services NAADS.
President Museveni decided to deploy the army to coordinate the
program activities after accusing the NAADS officials of mismanaging
the NAADS program.
However leaders in Kabale Municipality accuse the operation wealth
creation officials for sidelining them from the project since it was
introduced.
The Kabale Municipality Mayor Emmanuel Sentaro Byamugisha says that
since he entered office he has endeavored to call the coordinator of the
project in the Municipality to explain his activities to councilors in vain.
He says that they have decided to report the matter to the office of
Resident district commissioner and also demanding reports of work done
in municipality so that the officers can account for government money.

The Central Division Chairman Sam Arinaitwe says that he has invited
the operation wealth creation coordinator to his office in vain. He
wonders how these officials have been operating without their
knowledge.

The Kigezi region operation wealth creation coordinator Ismail Masudi
denies the accusations saying that they always consider them adding
that the municipal authorities want knelt before which they cannot.
