Councillors Call for Productive Solutions against Poverty
Councillors from Igorora Town Council were urged to encourage their community to engage in productive work to combat poverty. This call was made by Atukundiire Barnabas, the outgoing Councillor representing Ngango ward, during his last council meeting before starting a new role with Ibanda District Local Government.
Atukundiire noted that many people are engaging in politics and expecting handouts from aspiring candidates rather than working hard.
During the meeting, Tukamuhebwa Isaac was elected as the new Speaker while Natukunda Christine as the Deputy Speaker, both taking their oaths of office.
Tukamuhebwa expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and promised a smooth transition of power.
Deputy RDC Banjo Richard attended the meeting and encouraged councillors to actively promote government programs like Parish Development Money which are aimed at eradicating poverty in their areas.
