Congratulations to the people of #Jinja , #Arua , #Gulu , #Masaka , #FortPortal , #Mbarara & #Mbale , whose towns today became cities.
This is an acknowledgement of the growth these towns have experienced but importantly a move to ensure more services are brought closer to the people.

Uganda now has eight cities and more will follow.
My guidance is that the political & technical leaders must work in harmony to ensure the cities are run efficiently. I also urge the wanainchi to be involved in the running of these cities, especially through oversight.
