Deputy Secretary General of the ruling National resistance Movement, Rose Namayanja Nsereko instructed the Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs) in all districts of Uganda to desist from keeping abreast information concerning service delivery in their respective duty districts.
“CAOs, please always release such information to the NRM leadership and the public,” she said.
Namayanja was on Sunday addressing over 300 party leaders from the ten districts of Greater Masaka at Masaka Royal Gardens Hotel. The party officials included members of the District Executive Committees and Sub County NRM chairpersons among others.
She tasked the Resident District Commissioners to work closely with the CAOs to ensure that the required information is released on time.
The information should cover different sectors that include health, education, roads, water, PDM and Emiyooga among others.
The Deputy SG’s remarks followed complaints from party members expressing difficulty in accessing the needed information from the district technical staffs headed by the CAOs.
“The offices of the RDCs should be a one stop centre for all government related information”, Namayanja stressed adding that, “On receipt of such details, copies should be circulated downwards to the Administrative Secretaries in all NRM offices.”
Members observed that lack of information had made some people hate the government and talking ill of the ruling party.
Namayanja was flanked by Hon Godfrey Kiwanda (CEC Member, Central Region), Hon Rosemary Seninde (the Director in charge of Mobilization at the NRM Secretariat) and the Senior Manager in charge of Information Rogers Mulindwa.
