Local leaders and technical officials in Bushenyi District have conducted a joint monitoring exercise to assess the ongoing construction of a UGX 1.4 billion maternity ward at Kyabugimbi Health Center IV, aimed at enhancing maternal and child health services across the sub-county.
The delegation was led by Bushenyi District Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Annette Katusiime Mugisha, alongside the Chief Administrative Officer’s representative, Mr. Hilary Twebaze, who chaired the monitoring meeting. Assistant Resident District Commissioner, Madam Kellen, represented the Office of the RDC.
Updating the team on project milestones, Bushenyi District Engineer Barnabas Mbonimpa Kiiza reported that overall progress currently stands at 9%, with contractors focusing on completing the ground slab.
Community Barazas and Municipal MDD Competitions
In a related development, the Office of the RDC in partnership with the CAO’s office convened a Community Dialogue (Baraza) on public service delivery at the Kakanju Sub-County headquarters. The ongoing district-wide barazas are designed to strengthen grassroots accountability, address civic grievances, and improve service delivery across local government sectors.
