ToroDev has secured
free airtime for all the newly elected leaders in the seven (7) districts of Ruwenzori
sub region to come on the 3 Fm radio stations we partner with to share with
electorates the plans for the 5 years term 2016-2021. This is aimed at
mobilizing leaders to share what they promised in the campaigns in their manifestos
now that they have been sworn in and given offices.
On 5th June, 2016 during the ‘Listeners’’ forum’
program on Jubilee radio that is aired live every Sunday 8:00pm-10:00pm, Hon.
Muhumuza Richard the newly elected LC 3 chairperson for West division in Fort
Portal municipality was hosted in the studios of Jubilee Radio to give his
people the plans he has for the division for the next 5 years (2016-2021);
‘’ As a leader, first
and foremost I want to mobilize all workers’ in the division both politicians
and technocrats/civil servants to build team work so that we can work together as
a team not forgetting Local council four (Mayor) because where we fail the
mayor and his council come in, work with the already existing engineers to
construct first class tarmac road that
connects Rwengoma-water supply to the main road of municipality and funds have
already been secured, Complete Kabundaire market road with first class Tarmac,
sensitize our electorates/citizens on the importance of paying taxes because
the funds we use result from tax payment, lobby for a vehicle that will work on
reducing garbage especially in Rwengoma parish, plans to have alternative water
sources to supplement NWSC are in place because our people suffer a lot when
NWSC water is disconnected or when it goes off due to technical issues, working
in partnership with wealth creation program to improve our plantations, not
just keeping them clean but also improving on the maintenance to raise income
for our families & securing areas for green belts with in specified
parishes in the division’’
Callers participated in the program through call-ins and Sms
platforms; ‘’ Garbage is a big issue in
the division, the chairperson should be serious with it if we are to maintain
our division clean’’, said Mr. Kulayisi Kuwalabye a caller from Rwengoma in
Fort Portal municipality, ‘’ kindly bring
all the elected leaders to hear from them the plans they have for our areas’’,
said Micheal Kamara a caller from Busoro sub county in Kabarole district.
ToroDev is committed to keep the leaders accountable to
their promises for the development of our communities.
We are grateful to all our partners; SIDA, NED, SPIDER, ICT 4DEM & WOUGNET for the technical and
financial support.
