Kwania–The Head of the RDC Secretariat and Anti-Corruption Unit in the Office of the President, Maj. Martha Asiimwe, has called on district leaders and public officers in Kwania to strengthen accountability, monitor government programmes and ensure public resources deliver tangible benefits to communities.
Asiimwe made the call during an engagement with district leaders in Kwania, held under the theme “Effective Service Delivery” and aligned with the government’s Kisanja No More Sleep, No More Corruption agenda.
She emphasised the need for coordinated oversight, effective monitoring and follow-up to ensure government interventions reach their intended beneficiaries.
She challenged leaders to intensify efforts to move households from subsistence living into the money economy, noting that programmes such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) and Emyooga should be treated as wealth-creation initiatives rather than handouts.
Asiimwe urged leaders to ensure beneficiaries receive the necessary guidance, invest funds in viable enterprises and are regularly monitored to establish the impact of the investments.
She also warned against the misuse of public resources, including PDM funds, medicines, school capitation grants and road funds, noting that corruption directly undermines service delivery and affects ordinary citizens.
She called on Resident District Commissioners, Chief Administrative Officers, political leaders, technical officers and security agencies to work as one team through monitoring, verification, assessment, documentation and follow-up of government programmes.
“Our people do not need promises; they need results,” she said, urging public officers to uphold professionalism, unity and accountability.
