Catherine Ndamira Atwakiire during her campaign of distributing piglets in the three parishes of Rutare, Kibuga and Karujanjanga both from Kibuga Sub County.
The LC III Chairman for Kibuga Sub County, Mr. Kamugisha Vincent explained that the Sub County boardroom is currently used as the council hall with the seating capacity of less than 20 people.
He added that lacking a Council Hall has affected council sessions, with most councilors having nowhere to sit, forcing them to carry out activities in the compound, especially when receiving visitors.
“We are being troubled because of lacking a Council Hall at the headquarters, something that is letting us down. At times we carry out council sessions in the open because even the boardroom we currently sit in is very small and can’t accommodate all of us and when it rains the situation worsens.” Kamugisha Vincent.
Female Councilor Praise Ampere, representing Katuna Town Council and Kibuga Sub County, noted that councilors often stand during sessions due to limited space, with even the chairman, speaker, and councilors’ seats being insufficient.
In response, Kabale District Woman MP Hon. Catherine Ndamira Atwakiire pledged to follow up on the issue saying that Kibuga Sub County, being one of the newly created sub counties, should be developed to the standard.
