Mwanza Regional Commissioner, CP Salum Hamduni, has emphasized the need for public servants in Ukerewe District Council to provide high-quality services to citizens. On September 22, 2026, CP Hamduni addressed residents of Ukerewe, stressing that public servants have a responsibility to serve citizens with integrity and address their concerns within a reasonable time. He made the call to ensure that public servants deliver services efficiently, meeting the required quality standards.
CP Hamduni urged public servants not to wait for government leaders to visit their areas before taking action on community challenges. Instead, they should use their authority to ensure that government services are delivered efficiently. He emphasized that public servants should provide timely services without regard for a person's status. This, he believes, will help address grievances promptly and improve service delivery.
The Regional Commissioner also called on residents of Ukerewe to cooperate with the government in addressing community challenges. He identified access to water, electricity, and roads as key areas that require close cooperation between citizens, public servants, and government institutions. Such collaboration, he said, is essential for ensuring that development projects are implemented effectively and public complaints are addressed promptly.
CP Hamduni emphasized that citizens have a crucial role to play in cooperating with authorities and participating constructively in efforts to improve service delivery and accelerate development. He encouraged residents to remain patient as the government works to address the challenges facing the district. Cooperation between the government and residents, he said, will help identify pressing needs and prioritize interventions according to the challenges affecting different communities.
A resident of Nansio, Ms Mariam Chiluma, highlighted the difficulties faced by residents related to water, roads, and electricity. She described the provision of these essential services as an urgent need. Improving access to reliable water, electricity, and road infrastructure, she said, would significantly improve living conditions for residents and support economic activities across various parts of Ukerewe.
Ms Chiluma noted that better infrastructure and essential services would enable residents to conduct their daily activities more efficiently. This, she believes, would create a more conducive environment for businesses and other economic activities. Residents, she emphasized, require reliable services to enhance their livelihoods and support local economic growth.
CP Hamduni's call for improved service delivery and cooperation between the government and residents is a significant step towards addressing the challenges facing Ukerewe District.
