Government Creates 162 New Town Councils

The Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) has created 162 new districts some of which have already been operational since July this year. 86 out of the 162 will become operational starting the next financial year.

Justinian Niwagaba, The commissioner for Urban Administration in the MoLG says the new town councils have been created due to demands of the people who want services close to them and the rapid urbanisation in the country.

Rubanda and Sironko districts have taken the biggest share of the new town councils with a total of seven each.

Kasese District, Luwero, Kisoro Kaabong and Mitoma follow in tow.
