The public service and local government committee however, said that district like Entebbe and Kasambya was left out. The committee chairperson, Grace Freedom, while reporting to parliament, said that the new districts were duly requested by local people and councils. The committee noted there was no consensus on boundaries to be created for more two districts in Kasese.

The minister of local government Adolf Mwesige said that he is going to study the committee’s report on  the creation of new districts .
