Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kyegegwa District chairperson John Byamukama Kisoke has said the existing rift between political leaders in some districts has continued to cripple effective service delivery.<\/b><\/p>\n

He cited accusations and clique formation, among others, as key factors crippling service delivery in many districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation has been compounded by the persistent disagreements among councillors, which often leads to the district council\u2019s failures to even approve budgets,\u2019\u2019 Mr Byamukama said.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks while addressing local government leaders during a two-day learning visit by the Lamwo District Council team to Kyegegwa District last Friday.<\/p>\n

Mr Byamukama implored district councillors to desist from conflicts and focus on service delivery, adding that useless fights have contributed to low revenue collection and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Kyegegwa, we don\u2019t have council fights. It has never happened here, we are all together. If we had conflicts here, I don\u2019t think Lamwo [District team] would be here today,\u201d the Kyegegwa boss said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have never had a scenario like in other districts where the district councillors refuse to pass the budget. When we are planning, our attention goes to our people \u2013 the voters. We concentrate on how to have quality service delivery. Our vision is to be a model district among the rural districts of Uganda,\u201d Mr Byamukama added.<\/p>\n

The Lamwo District Council benchmarking visit to Kyegegwa was organised by the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP).<\/p>\n

DRDIP is a government project funded by the World Bank and being implemented under the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).<\/p>\n

The objective of the two-day learning visit was to learn from the host district\u2019s workable strategies for enhancing local revenue performance and also learn how they are managing refugees being hosted in their district.<\/p>\n

Unlike other refugee hosting districts, Lamwo is financially constrained, yet any meaningful service delivery requires adequate resources at play, according to the OPM.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, with guidance from DRDIP\u2019s Project Implementation Support Team (PIST), Lamwo local leaders learnt how to enhance local revenue collection and how to balance resources with refugees being hosted.<\/p>\n

Lamwo Chief Administrative Officer Thompson Obong urged his council to emulate what Kyegegwa and other refugee-hosting districts have done.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first call of learning has been how Kyegegwa has done it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we have little time …\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The DRDIP director, Dr Robert Limlim, said: \u201cTeamwork builds trust, creates confidence. So, let us work as a team and remove mistrust,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
