A team led by The Hoima Resident City Commissioner Badru Mugabi last evening paid a courtesy call on the Prime Minister of Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom (BKK) Owek. Andrew Byakutaga Ateenyi.
The delegation included Hoima West Division Deputy Resident City Commissioner Muhoozi Michael and Hoima East Division Deputy Resident City Commissioner Kasigazi William.
The delegation highlighted the various government programs and requested the Kingdom to mobilize Kabumba’s subjects to tap existing opportunities such as the skilling program through the Bunyoro industrial hub, Emyooga, oil developments among others.
The Premier appreciated the visit and promised to rally Kingdom structures to mobilize Kabumba’s subjects for development programs.
The Kingdom was surprised to learn that whereas many people in Bunyoro are yearning for capital to undertake development projects, billions of shillings sent by Government to support social economic development of the people remain either unutilized or under utilized.
The meeting discussed modalities of enhancing the uptake of government funds meant to support the improvement of the livelihoods of the people.
The BKK team included the Chief Administrative Secretary Mr. Katusabe Alex, the BKK Tourism officer Mr. Kasagama Abdul who is also the Acting BKK Production officer and Mugerwa Francis the kingdoms communication Officer.
