JUST IN: Minister Musasizi Faces State House Apology Mission Amidst Iron Sheets Scandal

NEWS – Rubanda East County legislator Hon. Henry Musasizi Ariganyira has chosen a delegation of around 20 individuals from various sectors to attend a State House meeting with President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to apologize for channeling iron sheets that were meant for vulnerable people in Karamoja.

On March 10, 2023, Banyakigezi criticized Minister Musasizi for opposing the creation of ‘Kabale City.’ In 2019, Kabale Municipality was slated for elevation to city status in 2023.

The backlash led to the formation of the “Kabale City Claim Forum,” a group advocating for their city’s recognition.

Minister Musasizi, on February 12, 2023, announced that Kabale’s city status was halted per an agreement with President Museveni.

However, the Ministry of Local Government denied any official communication about a change in the resolution of Parliament approving city creation.
