"The goal is to provide long-lasting infrastructure that will ease the challenges faced by mothers and children in our communities," he emphasized.
At the Goba Kulangwa Secondary School, he also highlighted the importance of security as the country prepares for the general elections.
"As we approach the elections, it's essential to ensure the security of our communities, and that includes expediting the construction of the Tegeta A Police Station," Chalamila instructed.
During the visit, the Mayor of Ubungo Municipal Council, Juma Japhari Nyaigesha, urged residents and businesspeople to fulfill their tax obligations, stating, "Taxes are the foundation for funding these development projects, and we all have a responsibility to contribute."
