Kabale Civil Servants Encouraged to Share Government Achievements as Leaders Express Confidence in NRM Support

Kabale, Uganda — Kabale Town Clerk Mr Eric Sunday, who also serves as the chairperson of all government employees in Kabale District, has encouraged civil servants to actively explain government programmes and achievements to the public, saying this helps citizens better understand the work being done by the government.

Speaking to journalists on Friday at Kabale Municipal Council, Mr Sunday said government employees are well placed to educate communities about services, projects and policies that have been implemented to improve people’s livelihoods. He noted that civil servants interact with the public on a daily basis and can therefore play a key role in clarifying government interventions in areas such as infrastructure, health, education and local economic development.

“Our responsibility as public servants is to inform the people about what government has done for them and help them appreciate the value of these programmes,” Mr Sunday said. “When citizens are well informed, they are able to make better decisions and actively participate in development.”

Mr Sunday emphasised that this role is guided by the Public Service Act and Standing Orders, which require public servants to be impartial, professional, transparent and loyal to the government of the day, while always putting public interest above personal gain. He added that civil servants must carry out their duties within the law and uphold the trust placed in them by the public.

Echoing this confidence, Kabale Resident District Commissioner (RDC), retired Maj. Katamba Godfrey, said the government is optimistic about securing strong support for President Yoweri Museveni in Kabale District and the wider Kigezi sub-region. He described Kigezi as a region that has historically supported the National Resistance Movement (NRM), largely due to the visible government investments and ongoing development programmes.

“Kigezi has benefited from government programmes, and people can see the impact,” Maj. Katamba said. “That is why we are confident of a big vote for the President in Kabale and the entire region.”
