Government is planning to lift a ban on the creation of new local government administrative units, authorities have said.
In 2021, Local Government minister Raphael Magyezi said government had banned the creation of new cities, districts, municipalities, divisions, town councils and sub-counties over lack of funds to operationalize them.
But on Friday, Magyezi said his ministry “”is in consultation with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to lift the ban if resources allow.”
“We shall ensure that the ban on the creation of new local government administrative units is lifted,” Magyezi told Oyam leaders while commissioning the district’s Local Government headquarters’ administration block.
The building was constructed by Baygon Enterprises Limited at a cost of Shs2.9 billion.
