The Rubanda District Chairperson, Ampeire Stephen Kasyaba, on Wednesday officially launched the construction of a solar-powered water project in Bushura Ward, Hamuhambo Town Council, located in Rubanda East Constituency, bringing hope for clean and safe water to thousands of residents in the area.
The project, worth hundreds of millions of Ugandan shillings, is being implemented by Davis & Shirtliff Co. Ltd, with funding from TechnoServe Uganda and support from the Government of the Netherlands.
Upon completion, the system will supply safe water to residents of Hamuhambo Town Council and parts of Bubare Sub-county, improving public health and access to clean water.
Speaking at the launch event held at Bushura Cell, Chairperson Kasyaba highlighted the efforts made by the Rubanda District Local Government to secure the project.
“Safe water for our people in Bushura has been a top priority in our executive planning meetings. I’m glad to see this project finally taking off,” Kasyaba said.
He further emphasized his fulfillment of campaign promises:
“I have no debt remaining in Hamuhambo Town Council. I came with a manifesto and made specific pledges after the election, Bushura water was one of them. Now I have delivered, so I leave the rest to you.”
Kasyaba appealed to residents to support his re-election bid in the upcoming 2026 general elections, beginning with the NRM party primaries slated for August 24, 2025.
“I have been tested and proven effective. If you want this District to be fully transformed, look no further, I am here,” he added.
