“Congratulations once again, here’s to the next chapter of your career filled with even greater passion, resilience. We shall accord you all the utmost support to serve our people diligently into the new leadership role.” Capt (Rtd) Lumaga said.

“Congratulations Hon. Fred, we are so happy to have you in service of Kalangala District. May the almighty continue blessing you with wisdom and energy to serve. Mr. Henry Ssebunya, we are grateful for the committed and dedicated service to Kalangala.” Mr. Lugoboobi said.

“Dear friends, I am overwhelmed by your warm congratulatory messages on my appointment as Resident District Commissioner for Kalangala District! Your kind words and support mean the world to me, and I am truly humbled.”

Thank you for always being part of my journey and for believing in me. Your encouragement and enthusiasm are a constant source of my motivation. I look forward to  working harmoniously with all of you to make yet a greater positive impact and create a brighter future for our district, provided we’re always guided by *fairness* in whatever we say and do.
