Buganda Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Charles Peter Mayiga, has expressed dismay over the prevalent unhygienic conditions in Masaka City, urging local leaders to take decisive action to address the situation.
Speaking during the reopening ceremony of the renovated official residence of the Buddu County Chief, Mayiga emphasized the importance of cleanliness in modern society. He highlighted the need for community mobilization to uphold sanitation standards and enhance overall quality of life.

He called upon leaders across all sectors to fulfill their duties diligently and actively contribute to the transformation of their communities. Additionally, Mayiga reaffirmed Buganda Kingdom’s commitment to advocating for a Federal system of administration, which aims to promote equitable socio-economic empowerment through shared governance and resource allocation.
