He noted that the go back home policy as revealed by district chairman can. David Kabigumira is good and he will continue to practice it together with his colleagues.
He added that they have not only brought theater bed but also a patient monitor ,stretcher,and mobile operating light.
The mayor for Sheema municipality who is the former vice chairman Abel Kahara noted that association is non political therefore when he contested for mayor ship for Sheema municipality, he relinquished his position of the vice chairperson and legal advisor.
The function brought together arch political and social enemies like Minister Elioda Tumwesigye and Plan Mugyenyi. Social enemies at the function were Minister Elioda Tumwesigye and Muhangi Bigirwa who cannot see eye to eye either or social media but the three were seated together.
Plan Mugyenyi the former FDC parliamentary candidate for Sheema municipality gave the facility a two million cheque for Sheema development association to add on so that they can buy an ultra sound scan.
The mayor for Sheema municipality Abel Kahara called Ms Plan Mugyenyi on the podium to deliver the 12 m cheque she brought and was rejected by the health centre in charge Dr. Davis Asiimwe.
Plan Mugyenyi came to the podium and told the gathering that after rejecting her 12 m to buy a ultra sound scan , she took it back to people who had contributed it to her.
She added that for today she had come with a cheque of two million shillings and asked Sheema development association to add on then she goes to her friends to solicit again until it gets to 12m to buy the ultra sound scan for Sheema health centre IV.
Dr. Elioda Tumwesigye who spoke last hailed Sheema development association for coming in to help and assured that theater where they placed the bed was built by him after lobbying money from the ministry of health.
Minister Elioda also denied allegations that he is killing health facilities around Sheema district in order to promote his own hospitals of Bushenyi Medical Centre and health related projects of ICOBI.
He noted that the idea to start Bushenyi Medical Centre was hatched in 1999 before he became Member of Parliament in 2001.He named many health centre IIs and IIIs in Sheema North and Sheema municipality which he helped to start and therefore it is not true that he is fighting government facilities at the expense of his own BMC.
