Residents of Bunyangabu District and the wider Tooro Sub-Region are expressing some hope of good representation following remarks by their representative, Victor Kalenzi, during the Ongoing week long Kyankwanzi engagement with the newly elected MPs.
In a video clip, Kalenzi is seen addressing the President on the high cost of medical care, noting that many ordinary citizens struggle to afford treatment for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, while some government officials are able to seek specialized care abroad.
He noted the need for the government to give greater attention to improving local health systems and reducing reliance on medical tourism.
According to Kalenzi, as the rest of the Mps will be securing cars, his share of that money will be going to treat his child, adding that he imagines how many residents are in the same situation like himself, but can’t afford to treat their children.
A number of residents who watched the video clip, expressed gratitude to Kalenzi, expressing hope that Kalenzi could be their true voice in representation.
