He revealed that the district is targeting improved performance in the annual Local Government Assessment conducted by the Office of the Prime Minister, adding that stronger cooperation and institutional harmony will be critical in achieving this goal.
Meanwhile, Deputy Resident District Commissioner Michael Muramira Kyakashari challenged LCIII Chairpersons to take charge of security matters within their areas and regularly convene local security meetings to promote peace, stability and effective governance.
