Sub county chairpersons and chiefs are set to receive motorcycles from president’s office to perform their duties effectively.
This was revealed by the Uganda Local Government Association (ULGA) chairperson for western Uganda Patrick Besigye Keihwa while addressing leaders at River side hotel in Rukingiri district yesterday in the ULGA annual meeting.
Keihwa revealed that some government programs haven’t been performed effectively because leaders do not have means of transport to reach rural areas.
He promised to take the message to the president such that every local chairperson and sub county chief gets a motor vehicle.
Keihwa said that even LCI and II are supposed to be provided with bicycles.
Josephine Kusemerelwa Kalege who represented the general secretary for ULGA promised that they will make a subscription for local revenue by amending the constitution of the association because the revenue collected from local government is sent to Uganda Revenue Authority in Kampala which has hindered independent decisions.
The meeting was attended by over 400 members from the regions of Rwenzori, Kigezi, Bunyoro and Tooro mainly to revise the aims of the association
