The LCV Chairperson-elect of Kabarole District, Kimome Ruben Araali Makubebe, has urged parish councilors to begin engaging with parish-level leaders and locals even before their official swearing-in.
In a message addressed to councilors, Kimome encouraged them to use the remaining time before assuming office to identify key development challenges within their communities.
He asked councilors to work with parish leaders to document roads that require urgent attention, including those that need grading, murram, or opening. He also called for the identification of roads obstructed by stones or other barriers that may hinder transport and access.
The LCV-elect further asked leaders to take note of villages that still lack access to safe water, saying the information will guide future development planning.
Kimome said that within two months after the swearing-in, district leaders plan to conduct visits at least up to parish level across Kabarole District to assess the identified needs and engage with local leaders.
He also revealed that discussions on the working methods of the new leadership will be held after the visits.
According to Kimome, the district leadership also intends to develop a “citizens’ manifesto” within the first 100 days in office, aimed at capturing the priorities and expectations of residents.
He emphasized that the early engagement with communities will help ensure that development interventions reflect the actual needs of the people.
