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.
