“The information that reached the president was alarming he was told no government project is being implemented in Amolatar, among them schools, roads, hospitals, emyooga and PDM that prompted them to come for a fact finding mission but l want to encourage leaders to continue with tremendous job that’s is being observed on the group, am also asking for unity from leaderships to avoid allegations and intrigue  to the president”. Ambaako Said.

He advised District leaderships to always engage lower leaders and community when monitoring government projects so that they equally participate in the process of development.

‘When going for monitoring make sure to get along with lower leaders, Mps and community members so that when asked about any government projects in their locality they can positively respond”.Ambaako Added.

However when responding to  the issues of FPU and fishermen at lake Kyoga Ambaako advised the leaders to unite and have a dialogue with Commander of FPU so that they get the proper ways of sorting out problems causing shooting in the lake.

“Sit down with FPU commander discuss issues that fishermen think are not right, call stake holders to attend and all leaders at different levels for proper fishing community, all I have seen because of no unity from the top leaders at the district, the issues of the lake may take long and yet it is simple and can be solved “.Ambaako Advised.
