District leaders to sue Resident District Commissioner

Councillors of Kalungu district council are threatening to sue the resident district commissioner Tom Serwanga for getting involved in the affairs of the councils.

Councillors accuse the resident district commission Serwanga of convening an extra district council meeting on May 10th 2011 to elect new members of the executive.

During the meeting four people were elected on the Kalungu district council executive drawing protests from the councilors. Baker Mayanja one of the councilors who attended the extra ordinary meeting chaired by the resident district commission Serwanga, Lukia Nakatwa was elected as Kalungu district vice chairperson while Grace was committed to social service.

The nominees have since been rejected by councilors led by Kalungu district LCV chairperson Emmanuel Musoke. He says the meeting convened by the RDC was illegal and contravenes the local government Act that gives LCV chairpersons mandate to appoint their executive.
