The cleaning exercise attracted the participation of district leaders, community members and other stakeholders, who worked together to clean public spaces and promote greater awareness about sanitation. The activity also provided an opportunity for leaders and residents to interact directly while contributing to the cleanliness of their communities.
Dr. Alinaitwe urged the people of Rukiga to sustain the spirit beyond the National Cleaning Day exercise, emphasising that a clean district requires continuous commitment from everyone.
