This concerted effort is praiseworthy and it is not only for the Rubanda district but for national development. Am sure you will translate what you have done in Rubanda to wherever you are going in your tour of duty.” read part of the speech.
Musasizi also welcomed the incoming CAO to Rubanda District and assured him of support in the performance of his duties. The Minister advised Mr Robert Abeneitwe to always share notes with the outgone CAO, “because Ahimbisibwe left a good legacy.”

He handed over office and tools of work to the new CAO in presence of the Rubanda District LC.5 Chairperson Stephen Kasyaba and the District Councilors.
