HAMURWA, RUBANDA — The LCIII Chairperson of Hamurwa Town Council in Kabale District, Muhwezi Lucas, has challenged residents to maintain cleanliness in their homes and surroundings instead of waiting for the gazetted national cleaning day.
Speaking during the second council session held on Monday, August 31, Lucas said sanitation and personal hygiene should be observed at all times if Hamurwa Town Council is to remain healthy, clean and attractive.
He said the national cleaning day should not be used as an excuse for residents to neglect their surroundings, urging individuals to take personal responsibility for cleaning their homes, business premises and public spaces.
Lucas emphasized that proper sanitation is essential in preventing diseases and improving the general image of the town council.
Meanwhile, Hamurwa Town Council Town Clerk, Muhwezi Gerald, revealed that the council has allocated Shs286 million for road works during the 2026/27 financial year.
According to Muhwezi, the council plans to work on several roads, including Hamurwa–Habusinde–Nangaro Road, Karukara–Rwara–Nangalo Road, Karukara–Kanyabitara–Nyaruteija Road, and Habusinde–Nangaro Primary School Road.
He explained that the works will involve clearing stones and other obstacles from the roads to make them easier and safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to use.
The Town Clerk also said the council plans to install additional culverts on several roads to improve drainage and reduce water-related damage to the road network.
The planned interventions are expected to improve accessibility and transportation within Hamurwa Town Council while enhancing the overall condition of the area’s road infrastructure.
