The Mayor made the remarks, yesterday, while addressing hundreds of residents in Kibungo sector, about the ongoing campaign for good governance. “Poor service delivery, corruption and poorly functioning administration are massive obstacles to development. This explains why good governance has become a key concept in development strategies in our country,” the Mayor said. Nambaje said the ongoing campaign for good governance across communities would equally emphasise good service delivery and accountability. [By Stephen Rwembeho]
