The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Minister of Local Government Raphael Magyezi has today tabled a motion for the creation of 15 new counties.
The Speaker Rebecca Kadaga has however deferred debate on the proposal for the creation of new counties, giving the Minister of Local Government three weeks to address concerns raised by Members of Parliament (MPs).
Some MPs were concerned that the Ministry deliberately granted recent proposals for counties at the expense of those presented earlier. They say that this goes against the principle of fairness and equity.
The 15 new counties will have their representatives considered by Parliament immediately – starting July 1. The decision was approved by parliament last week.
They are
– Kiboga West
– Buhweju West
– Lamwo East
– Bugangaizi South
– Chekwi East
– West Budama Central
– Buwekula South
– Kwania North
– Kagoma North
– Buyanja East
– Ngariam
– Agago West
– Bukanga North
– Bukimbiri
– Nakaseke Central
