In a move aimed at strengthening service delivery within the Buganda Kingdom, local officials in Mityana District have been equipped with bicycles to improve their mobility while carrying out kingdom duties.
The initiative, led by Deputy County Chief Steven Jjumba, is part of broader efforts to enhance coordination and efficiency at the grassroots level. Jjumba, who officiated the handover alongside County Treasurer Richard Kyambadde, said the bicycles are intended to help officials reach communities more effectively.
“We want our officials to carry out their responsibilities with ease. These bicycles will help them move faster and serve people better. More support of this kind is still coming,” Jjumba said.
Kyambadde emphasised that the bicycles will play a key role in facilitating day-to-day operations, particularly in areas where transport remains a challenge. He urged beneficiaries to take proper care of the equipment to ensure its longevity.
“These bicycles are a valuable resource. We ask all officials to maintain them properly so they can continue benefiting from this support,” he noted.
Beneficiaries welcomed the initiative, describing it as timely and practical. They said improved mobility will enhance their ability to monitor activities, mobilise communities, and effectively represent the Kabaka at the local level.
The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by the Buganda Kingdom to strengthen its administrative structures and improve service delivery across its regions.
