The district chairperson Kabarole district Hon. Richard
Rwabuhinga on 26th/12/2015 appeared on Hits Fm Orukurato Talkshow to
share a report on the district performance 2015 hinting on various sectors including;
health, education and roads.
“ I appreciate ICT platforms like Tracfm which has given us enough information and evidenced data to use for planning and Budgeting for the people of Kabarole but as a
district council we have tried to do our best with the limited funds available.
We have worked on a number of roads although much needs to be done especially
in the sub counties where funds for road improvement is limited, for example 1 kilometer
of first class road costs between 35-40 million yet our sub counties receive 6 million
for road improvement in a quarter and sometimes in a year this has made our
work difficult as Kabarole District.” Said Hon Richard Rwabuhinga the
District LCV Kabarole District
Hon. Richard added as Kabarole District we have worked on Nyabukara-Harugongo road,
Harugongo-Nyantaboma, Mukagera-Kyamukube and other roads in the sub counties of
Rutete, Kibiito, Rwimi, Bukuku, etc, the
roads being improved are 7 meters wide
and those that are not yet completed are
expected to be ready by 31st March 2016.

Furthermore Hon. Rwabuhinga apologized to the
people of Kabarole due to bad roads in some areas but promised to lobby through
members of parliament and the president to increase funds for roads in the sub
counties. Hon. Rwabuhinga reminded the listeners that the President had earlier
pledged to tarmac Fort Portal –Kijura road, Fort Portal Saaka road & Rwimi
,Kadindimo-Kyanga roads that he only needs to be reminded and it will be done
when he comes to campaign this January 2016.
Hon. Rwabuhinga hinted also on the education
sector, in 2014 Kabarole district got 1971 first grades & 36000 second grades
at primary level which was great improvement compared to 2013 this improvement
is as a result of planned monthly exams for pupils, extra time teaching,
involvement of parents in their children’s education, timely salary payments of
teachers & teachers confidence instilled in their work. More still the studying environment where
classrooms have been constructed and text books in libraries provided have also
contributed to improved performance.
On the Health Sector a number of
maternity wards have been completed including Kidubuli maternity ward, Nyabuswa
maternity ward, Bukuuku health centre IV and
provision of functional
ambulances to help in health centers in different sub counties . Health workers in the district are at least
available and committed to work although there are some who are not yet serious
with their work but requested to change when i personally had a meeting with them. It’s
great that Kabarole district emerged 3rd among the well performing districts in
the whole country from the 31st position in 2014 to 3rd
position in 2015 in terms of health.
During the discussion about 25 listeners participated live through call-ins & sms platforms & those

delivery, but we request him to work with our leaders to lobby for us
electricity in Kaina parish, Rwimi sub county, Kabarole District”. Said

the transport in that area”. Said Byaruhanga.
