RUKIGA — Rukiga District Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Dr. Sylvia Alinaitwe, has joined the Minister for Local Government, Hon. Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi, in an anti-corruption engagement aimed at strengthening accountability and improving service delivery in local governments.
Dr. Alinaitwe joined the minister during an engagement meeting currently taking place in Rukiga District, bringing together district leaders, civil servants and other stakeholders to discuss challenges affecting effective service delivery and the management of public resources.
The meeting marks the beginning of Minister Balaam’s tour of the Kigezi sub-region as he intensifies engagements with local government leaders and stakeholders as part of efforts to fight corruption and promote accountability.
Dr. Alinaitwe’s participation highlights her continued engagement in matters concerning the welfare of people in Rukiga, particularly issues surrounding the delivery of essential public services and the proper use of government resources.
The legislator is participating in discussions focused on strengthening transparency within local government structures and addressing challenges that can undermine the delivery of services to communities.
The engagement also provides an opportunity for district leaders and technical officers to discuss accountability concerns directly with the minister while identifying practical measures to improve the performance of local government institutions.
Dr. Alinaitwe has consistently used her position as the Rukiga District Woman MP to raise issues affecting residents and advocate for improved public services, making accountability an important component of her representation.
The Rukiga engagement is expected to set the tone for the minister’s wider Kigezi tour, during which local government stakeholders are expected to deliberate on corruption prevention, responsible management of public resources and improved service delivery.
The meeting is continuing in Rukiga District, with leaders and stakeholders expected to use the engagement to strengthen cooperation in the fight against corruption and ensure that government programmes and resources directly benefit the communities they are intended to serve.
