Hon. Abdu Swaibu Kampanya, the Member of Parliament for Iki-Iki County in Budaka District, has purchased a bus and tents to improve service delivery to his constituents.
While speaking on the local radio over the weekend in Mbale City, Hon.Kampanya said that , the bus will help in transporting constituents ,especially during burials, weddings and other community functions, while the tents will be hired out freely to locals during events.
Hon. Kampanya said the move is aimed at reducing the financial burden on his people who have been spending a lot of money hiring transport and tents for their functions.
Hon.Kampanya expressed worry over the rising cases of deaths in Iki-Iki, Budaka District, noting that locals have been forced to travel using trucks and lorries heading to burials.
The legislator said it is painful to see his people struggling to attend burial ceremonies due to lack of decent transport, with many squeezing themselves in trucks and lorries.
He said this situation prompted him to purchase a coaster bus to help in transporting mourners and locals during community functions.
"As a leader, I must improve service delivery. My people have been struggling to get transport for burial and other functions. I have purchased this bus and tents to help them," Hon. Kampanya said.
Stephen Ngole one of residents of Iki-Iki County has welcomed the initiative, saying it will save them from high costs of hiring.
Hon promised to continue initiating projects that directly benefit his people.
