council we have tractors to collect garbage, but they are just packed and
garbage is everywhere in the whole town council, secondly people of Kahanda,
Bufunjo, Kiswange and other villages are crying of lack of clean water, Katooke
Health Center 111 does not have enough drugs and most patients now are only given Paracetamol. We are suffering
in terms of having unimproved services because leaders during campaigns confuse
and lie to voters promising them to provide services but they don’t provide any

words during campaigns and on radio and make voters very excited which attracts voters to end up voting them. The truth is our leaders don’t have a heart to
serve the voters and don’t have the capacity to lobby for better and improved
services in Kyenjojo sub-county that is why we have many roads with potholes, we never got any first grade in Senior Four results in Katooke sub county, no
clean and piped water etc”. Said Muzoora Godwin from Katooke sub-county
Kyenjojo district.

“We voted because we wanted our
leaders to go in office and represent us, lobby for us and provide us with
better services as much as they can, but somehow some local citizens who voted
have never taken any step to go back and ask the leaders they voted into power
about services they promised to do for them during the campaigns. Local
citizens just complain from their homes and bars without approaching the leader
and they go ahead and laugh at us whenever we try to approach leaders demanding
them for better services. This is one of the reasons as to why we still have
poor services in most sectors and in most sub-counties of the Rwenzroi region”.Said Mukwano Ssenyojo, from Mugusu Sub-county.
“Local Citizens of the Rwenzori Region are not enjoying the best services
because they have been lied by politicians who speak sweet words and have
convincing tongues, used during campaigns to deceive voters”. Said Kamara a caller from Bugaki, Kyenjojo District.
During the live radio discussion over 20 local citizens called in to give in
their comments, issues, ideas on the topic of discussion and shared the nature
of poor services they have in most sub-counties and districts of the Rwenzori Region.
