The local council three Chairperson of Bulembia Division in Kasese Municipality, Mr. Richard Bomera, has called for legislative reforms aimed at reducing lengthy bureaucratic procedures that he says have delayed the timely completion of public projects, including the Kilembe Health Centre III maternity ward being constructed by the UPDF Engineering Brigade.

Speaking during the handover of five solar panels at the facility yesterday, Mr. Bomera noted that while the new lighting system would significantly ease night duties for health workers, there was a need for streamlined processes to ensure government projects are executed and completed within the planned timeframes.

Kasese Municipal Mayor, His Worship Chance Kahindo, concurred with Mr. Bomera’s remarks along the long bureaucracies in government agencies however emphasizing that his office would ensure the equitable distribution of resources received from central government to support development across the municipality.

Among the projects commissioned yesterday were the refurbished Kasese Municipal Mortuary and its pit latrine, the Kyababinga Public Toilet, and a new pit latrine at Buhunga Primary School, among several other community development initiatives aimed at improving public health and sanitation services.
