Only 11 Councillors fully participated in
the induction while the rest signed on the attendance lists and left to
attended the district leaders’ forum meeting at three way Hotel in Kisoro
Municipality.
According to the Kirundo LCV Councillor, Beishubeho
Luis Turyangyenda who fully participated, Councillors did not concentrate on
the induction because they expected much allowance at the leaders’ forum
meeting than from the orientation meeting.
He added that it is a major challenge in
Kisoro district as Councillors have always been influenced by money easily.
The official from the ministry of local
government in charge of local councils, Natukunda Naomi said that Councillors
should always choose knowledge over money. She added that what they are
teaching Councillors is very important to them as individuals.
The Kisoro district LCV Chairman said that
he is disappointed with his Councillors because they failed to embrace the
induction yet he advocated for it to ensure that the Councillors are educated
about their roles and responsibilities and also understand the council rules of
procedure, local government act and constitution.
He appealed to Councillors to turn up in
large numbers tomorrow in order for them not to totally miss the entire
orientation. He commended the ones that fully participated in the orientation.
