Nyakabirizi Division aspiring councilor Franklin Mwebembezi has today revealed that the division is still under developed because of poor representation

Mwebembezi an ANT flag bearer told www.mknewslink.com reporter, that Nyakabirizi would be on another level as far as development is concerned if it was not for bad, un ideological and lazy leaders.

Mwebembezi insisted that the leaders elect by Nyakabirizi voters only   represent their own interests forgetting about their people who sent them as their voice.

 He asked voters to put aside Relationships, religions among others but rather vote for leaders who will represent the majority’s interest and stir up the development of their area with standard schools, roads.

In Bushenyi

People supposed to benefit from Emyooga program in Bushenyi Ishaka municipality today got confused after they were told to start up a Municipality SACCO before receiving the money.

More than 500 people from all corners of Bushenyi Ishaka municipality had gathered at Bushenyi multipurpose hall with hopes of going back home with Emyooga program money but only to be disappointed.

Speaking to www.mknewslink.com reporter, the people revealed that they were confused as to why they were told to open a SACCO as a requirement before they benefit from this program.

Some shouting on top of their voices said that this program wants to suckle the little money they have instead of helping them to develop.

They also intimated to www.mknewslink.com that they were told that the state sent only 30 million shillings to be shared among more than 500 people who will pay 10,000/= as registration fee in the SACCO.

 Efforts to speak to emyooga program coordinators were futile as they claimed they were busy and in a hurry for other meetings.
