Summary:
- Hakizimana stated that the decision to conduct the council session at the late minister’s ancestral home in Bugahe Village, Nyakabingo Parish, Chahi Sub County, Bufumbiri South County, Kisoro District, was made after realizing that the district council hall would be too small to accommodate the invited guests.
KISORO: The Kisoro District Council will tomorrow (Wednesday) hold a special council sitting at the ancestral home of the late State Minister of Defense in charge of Veteran Affairs, Sarah Mateke Nyirabashitsi, to honor her distinguished service and remarkable contributions to the district, according to District Speaker Amos Hakizimana.
Hakizimana stated that the decision to conduct the council session at the late minister’s ancestral home in Bugahe Village, Nyakabingo Parish, Chahi Sub County, Bufumbiri South County, Kisoro District, was made after realizing that the district council hall would be too small to accommodate the invited guests.
He noted that the ancestral home is spacious enough to host the special council sitting and to allow mourners to pay their last respects, as the minister’s body has remained in Kampala since her passing.
The special council meeting is scheduled to start at 12:00 PM. According to Hakizimana, invited guests include LC5 Chairpersons, Speakers, Mayors, Chief Administrative Officers, Resident District Commissioners from the Kigezi Sub-region, Kisoro District Councilors, Sub County Chairpersons, LC3 Chairpersons, technocrats, among others. Hakizimana urged residents to maintain discipline during the event and requested all attendees to switch off their phones during the council session.
