The Deputy Resident District Commissioner of Buliisa District, Sylvester Tumukurate, has warned non-performing contractors to improve their work or face disciplinary action.
Tumukurate made the remarks during the handover of water infrastructure facilities at Avogera Health Centre III and Kigwera Health Centre III in Ngwedo Sub-county. The project was supported by TotalEnergies EP Uganda.
He said the district will begin counseling contractors who fail to meet required standards, while those involved in theft of government property will be punished according to the law.
Tumukurate cited cases where items such as road signs and hospital equipment have been stolen, affecting service delivery. He also urged the community to protect the newly installed water facilities to improve hygiene and health services.
