Our leaders can lobby for the development of our communities
or retard their development. As electorates we need to engage them and keep
them on pressure to make sure they have played their roles especially on what
they pledged during campaigns.‘’we need
to be responsible as citizens and fight for our communities if we are to realize
improved service delivery’’, said Mr. Nyemera Trevor the vice chairperson LC II Kiguma

has retarded development in the sub county.
‘’Our road that
connects Kaboyo from Butebe is in a sorry state, Nyakitoojo bridge has made
transportation of people and goods a big
challenge, access to safe and clean
water in the sub county is another big challenge, there are no drugs in health
centers especially health center 11’s & 111’s like Kiguma, inadequate
staff, lack of electricity has weakened economic development in the area and
there are many presidential pledges not followed by our leaders yet it is under
their jurisdiction’’, said Trevor Nyemera.

Trevor called upon leaders at all levels to change their
attitudes and work to improve service delivery because if roads are made and
bridges, people will access markets for their produce hence boosting the
economy in the area and trade relations with neighbors, our people suffer a lot
especially women who may want to access maternal services, reaching the health
centers becomes a challenge coupled with
lack of drugs & waiting in queues for the whole day due to inadequate
staffing in these health centers. The unemployed youth who would be starting up
small businesses continue being redundant because access to electricity which
would be helping them to start saloons is still a challenge. These businesses
once started can help to increase income levels at household level hence
reducing poverty in communities.
