Namisindwa District is set to construct eight sub-county head offices in the next financial year, 2027/28.
This was revealed on Friday by Emma Bwayo, the LCV Chairperson, during the budget conference for the 2027/28 financial year.
According to Bwayo, the new sub-counties that are going to benefit are Buwambwa, Namitsa, Mukhuyu, Namabya, Namisindwa Town Council, Bupoto, Nabitsikhi and Bungati.
The LCV Chairperson said that since those sub-counties were created, they have been operating in rented premises, which is too expensive.
He added that if a sub-county has its own offices, it is cheaper and improves service delivery to people in the area.
Bwayo also said other sub-counties will be considered in subsequent financial years due to limited resources.
43 billion shillings was put in the budget conference of finciancal year 2027/28 and the district council mainly prioritised Education, Works and then Production departments, and most of the money is for salaries.
