The Minister for Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, Judith Nabakooba, has tasked Kamwenge leaders to supervise contractors and ensure successful implementation of the Uganda Support to Municipal Infrastructure Development-Additional Financing (USMID-AF) programme.
Speaking at the commissioning of the programme in Kamwenge District on Wednesday, 30 November 2022, Nabakooba said from the past experiences in other districts, the contractors also delay to complete works over issues such as changing of the staff they present in bids and lack of equipment.
“Unlike the other urban areas Municipalities and Cities that have Supervising consultants, and Municipal or City Development Forums, at the Local Government level, supervision and monitoring of the works falls entirely on the shoulders of you both technical and political local leaders. Ensuring that all goes well is your work because the people who elected you are looking to you, to deliver these services to them because His Excellency President Museveni has promised these services to the people of Kamwenge,” she said.
