Magyezi, who had been invited by the Tooro king, Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, said the ministry is so willing to be a kingdom’s development partner and he will be sending technical people to assess the projects that are underway for support.
The Minister
of Local Government, Raphael Magyezi, has pledged the ministry’s support to
Tooro kingdom development projects.
Magyezi made
the promise on Monday after touring some of the projects that the kingdom is
undertaking in Fort Portal Tourism City. The kingdom officials requested for support from the minister.
The Kingdom Prime Minister, Bernard Tungakwo, said they want to undertake
a number of projects including establishing model farms in all the districts in
the kingdom, but they are lacking the funds and the technical support.
//Cue in: “We
thank the…
Cue out… central government.”//
Edward
Kasaija, the Tooro Kingdom Youth Minister, told Magyezi in a meeting that was
held at the Kingdom’s Supreme Council chamber at Mucwa, Fort Portal, that they
have a Youth Centre that is still poorly equipped.
Kasaija
explained that the centre, which is under the kingdom is currently equipping
the youth with skills in performing arts and music, visual arts, craft making
and youth mentorship among others.
He, however, added that they are still
financially constrained to add other courses like wielding, carpentry
and joinery, tailoring and design.
//Cue in: “Our
efforts have…
Cue out… for
your input.”//
The kingdom
Lands Minister, Polly Kateeba told the minister that they have incomplete projects
like the Nakaseke park and Kacwamba Market land both in Central Division, Fort
Portal, where they need the ministry’s input in developing them.
The
minister, who had been invited by the Tooro king, Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru
Rukidi IV, said the ministry is so willing to be a kingdom’s development
partner and he will be sending technical people to assess the projects that are
underway for support.
//Cue in: “It’s
just the…
Cue out…
resource centre.”//
He, however,
asked the leaders to stop the rampant clashes, saying they can affect the
planned development of the area.
