Deputy Speaker inspects government programs in his constituency

The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa is in his Ruhinda North Constituency in Mitooma District to monitor various development projects.

The house currently being on recess has allowed Hon Tayebwa to traverse his Constituency, holding strategic meetings on wealth creation with a major focus on the Parish Development Model (PDM).

He said “The meetings at parish level have helped me pick useful information from both beneficiaries and those who are yet to benefit. So far I have covered Rutokye Town Council and Kigyende Subcounty. Today I am in Kanyabwanga Sub County on the same mission.”

Adding that; “I want to make Ruhinda North a model constituency for the implementation of PDM. We want all the service delivery gaps fixed so that our people join the money economy.”

The Deputy Speaker explained that the feedback so far received is a testimony that the PDM is going to change the fortunes of his constituents and Ugandans in other parts of the country.

“Apart from a few implementation challenges, the community is overwhelmingly appreciative of this government programme,” He said.

PDM is a government project designed to transform 39% of the population who are currently trapped in subsistence farming or out of the money economy.
