KIRA MUNICIPALITY, UGANDA — Permanent Secretary for Local Government, Mr. Ben Kumumanya, has repeatedly emphasised the need for local government leaders and institutions to prioritise service delivery and ensure that government programmes reach the wanainchi—ordinary citizens—under Uganda’s decentralisation framework led by the Office of the President.
