The Muhanga District Council has made significant progress in its infrastructure development over the past five years. According to Mayor Kayitare Jacqueline, when the council took office in 2021, there were only six private buildings under construction in the district. However, through collaboration with various government agencies, the council has managed to motivate private developers to complete 36 buildings. Additionally, the council has constructed 39 km of asphalt roads in the district.
The district's infrastructure development has been a key priority for the council. Mayor Kayitare Jacqueline noted that the achievements were made possible through the council's resolutions and implementation at a 99% rate. The council's efforts have transformed the district's landscape, with many new buildings and roads being constructed. The mayor expressed satisfaction with the progress made, highlighting the council's commitment to improving the district's infrastructure.
Residents of Muhanga have welcomed the council's achievements but are calling for more infrastructure development in certain areas. Habimana Patrick, a resident of Muhanga, expressed gratitude for the council's efforts but requested that future councils focus on constructing more asphalt roads in areas such as Ruhina, Kabeza, Munyinya, Shyogwe, Binunga, and Nyabisindu. The residents' concerns highlight the ongoing need for infrastructure development in the district.
The Muhanga District Council has emphasized its commitment to addressing residents' concerns and delivering on its promises. Council President Nshimiyimana Gilbert stated that the council's primary goal is to listen to residents and provide solutions to their problems. He emphasized that the council has demonstrated its accountability and transparency in its operations, and this approach will continue in the future.
As the council looks to the future, it has identified several key projects that will be implemented by the incoming administration. Mayor Kayitare Jacqueline highlighted 17 major projects, including the construction of a water treatment plant in Kagaga, which will serve the districts of Muhanga, Ngororero, and Kamonyi. Other projects include the implementation of a solar-powered street lighting system, the construction of a new hospital in Kabgayi, and the renovation of the Shyogwe sector office.
The council's achievements and future plans demonstrate its commitment to improving the lives of residents in Muhanga. The district's infrastructure development has the potential to drive economic growth, improve access to services, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents. As the council hands over its responsibilities to the incoming administration, it is clear that there is still much work to be done to address the district's infrastructure needs.
The handover ceremony marked the end of the council's five-year term, and the beginning of a new era for the district. The council's legacy will be judged on its achievements, including the 36 buildings and 39 km of road infrastructure completed during its term.
