Kamara also mentioned that teachers who have not received their “hard to reach” allowances should be compensated. He urged the Kisoro district chief administrative officer and his team to address this issue, as the Ministry of Finance had allocated funds for this purpose in the financial year 2023/24.

Meanwhile, last week, teachers in Mupaka and Nkuringo town councils resumed attending classes after staying at home for two weeks in protest over the Kisoro district’s failure to pay their 150,000 shilling allowances. They were supported by the Bufumbira North legislator, Hon. Kamara John Nizeyimana, who stated that without demonstrations, the government would not address their concerns.
