Rev.Kintu willy Muhanga
the Mayor Fort Portal Municipality has acknowledged that monitoring, supervision & coordination of SMC's & PTA plus commitment
and hard work of teachers & parents contributed much to the good
performance of PLE which saw Fort Portal municipality emerging overall winner
in the whole country. The mayor urged other leaders to shun from politics &
get committed to work for the development of their communities citing an
example of the education sector which needs team work and cooperation of all
stakeholders.
Rev. Muhanga said these when he was hosted live alongside division
councilors; Enock Byakagaba Bazaar ward, Happy Julius Rwengoma in west division & Stephen Ruyonga Nyakagongo in East division to talk about the
current education policy, whether it is relevant to the needs of Ugandans &
challenges faced on 15th February 2017 during ToroDev supported ‘Manya ekiragiro Kyawe’ program that is
aired live every Wednesday 8-10pm on KRC Fm.
‘’As municipality we
have worked with all stakeholders to
supervise, monitor & hold regular meetings with heads of schools something
that we boost of to have yielded results in the recent released PLE results, we
call upon parents to fulfill their responsibilities especially supporting their
children in their education needs to improve performance especially in the
education sector’’, said Rev. Muhanga mayor Fort Portal Municipality.
‘’We have tried to
support School Management Committees (SMC) & Parents Teachers Association
Committees(PTA) in planning meetings & supervision as you can see the step
we have taken as Fort Portal municipality topping the whole country in PLE
results for 2016’’, said Stephen Ruyonga councilor representing Nyakagongo
in East Division.
While talking about the achievements in the municipality Rev.
Muhanga said Kabundaire- St.Paul-Kahungabunyonyi, Binanata & Kikongoro
roads have been constructed, Kitumba & Rwengoma roads have been completed
with first class murram. On the health sector with our lobbying efforts, Kataraka health
centre 111 has been supported with increased supply of drugs for our
people to access health services and currently we are working in close
coordination with the municipal water engineer to connect people of Kyegobe
with safe and clean water.
‘’We have embarked on
sensitizing people on the dangers of littering garbage in town and allocated a
vehicle which collects garbage twice a week to improve on the hygiene &
cleanliness in the town’’, said
Enock Byakagaba councilor representing Bazaar ward.
During the two hours live talk show listeners participated & about 30 people called in
& others sent sms; ‘’we are facing shortage of water supply in
some parts of the town, can the mayor explain the causes and the plans they
have to rectify the problem?’’, said Edward Twinamasiko a caller from
Rwengoma, ‘’our children are seriously
affected in their education by the fact that they do not access lunch at school
and others do not access parked lunch, can the leadership of Fort Portal municipality plan with management
committees in schools to see that every child accesses lunch while at school?’’,
said Tonny Kalyegira a caller from Boma, ‘’we
request the mayor to work hand in hand with his cabinet to initiate &
complete projects that will bring development in our communities’’, said
Gilbert a caller from Kataraka in Fort Portal municipality.
We take a great opportunity to thank SIDA, NED, SPIDER, ICT4DEM, CIPESA & other partners for the
continued cooperation to have these programs running.
