Dr. Leo Mfitimana, aspirant for Kisoro Municipality Member of Parliament on Sunday commissioned a new electricity extension project to Gakoro B Village in Southern Division, Kisoro Municipality.
He also presided over the opening of two community roads, Babyura Road and Byabahazi Road, constructed by local residents using basic tools such as hoes, in a grassroots effort to improve infrastructure and boost service delivery.
The electricity project is expected to stimulate job creation, particularly among youth engaged in small-scale enterprises like salon operations, welding, and flour milling.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Mfitimana was lauded by residents for his unwavering commitment to development initiatives in Kisoro Municipality.
His efforts have included not only electrification projects but also the introduction of a piggery project, support for community associations, and contributions toward church construction.
In his remarks, Dr. Mfitimana called on political leaders to refrain from taking undue credit for projects they did not initiate.
He emphasized the importance of non-partisan service delivery and underscored the transformative potential of electricity in empowering households, improving student learning environments, and generating employment.
