Ntungamo; Nyamunuka Town Council has handed over official stamps to newly elected LC1 chairpersons from all 61 villages in the council.
The handover ceremony was held on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at the Town Council headquarters and presided over by the Mayor, Yassin Katafa.
Addressing the new leaders and other stakeholders, Mayor Katafa warned LC1 chairpersons against abusing their offices, particularly by selling official stamps for personal gain.
He urged the chairpersons to use the stamps strictly for official duties, avoid corruption and conflicts of interest, and work closely with LCII and LCIII leadership.
Mayor Katafa also pledged the council’s support in fighting insecurity, saying each LC1 chairperson will be provided with three record books to register residents, visitors, and tenants in their respective villages.
He reminded the leaders that they have the mandate to make decisions at the village level and urged them to maintain good conduct and serve as role models in their communities.
The mayor further asked the LC1 chairpersons to report village concerns to the Town Council, follow up on the issues, and ensure government programmes reach residents at the grassroots.
Meanwhile, Town Clerk Kiconco Rosette and the Officer in Charge of Nyamunuka Kyakabale Police Station, Boaz, urged the new chairpersons to handle civil matters within their mandate and refer criminal cases to police.
