The state minister for Works and Transport, who is also the Member of Parliament for Bugangaizi West constituency in Kakumiro District, Fred Byamukama, has urged all newly elected NRM leaders in Kagadi District to prioritize the fight against corruption in order to improve service delivery.
Byamukama made the call on Thursday while addressing Kagadi leaders at URDT Multipurpose Hall during a ceremony held to celebrate the victory of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who secured 71.65% of the vote in the last elections.
He emphasized that in the new term of office, there must be zero tolerance to corruption at all levels, noting that effective service delivery in Kagadi will only be achieved if corruption is eliminated.
The minister also called for unity and cooperation among leaders, urging them to shift their focus from politics to service delivery now that the election period ended.
He further assured residents of Kagadi that government is committed to fulfilling its pledges, including the tarmacking of the Muhooro–Ndaiga Road, upgrading Kagadi General Hospital to a regional referral Hospital, and improving the Isunga–Kikwaya Road and pledges to Religious leaders made by the President.
Kagadi Deputy Resident District Commissioner, Namanya Jeremy, called on leaders to actively promote government programs aimed at alleviating poverty.
Meanwhile, the Kagadi District NRM Chairperson, Karungi Erukana Mpoza, thanked the people of Kagadi for overwhelmingly supporting President Museveni in the last elections. He also appealed to the minister to follow up on the President’s pledges to Kagadi district.
