The Head of the RDC Secretariat/ACU, Office of the President, Maj. Martha Asiimwe, has convened a monitoring meeting with Abim District leaders to strengthen teamwork and ensure government projects make a real impact on the ground. 

During the inspection, Maj Asiimwe emphasized the importance of collaboration among leaders to achieve quality service delivery, urging them to align their efforts with the government’s socio-economic transformation agenda. 

She, however, highlighted key achievements in the district, attributing progress to H.E. the President’s leadership and the implementation of strategic programs while addressing the need to overcome challenges, including gaps in monitoring and accountability, to improve outcomes for citizens. 

The RDC Secretariat’s role was underscored, focusing on service delivery monitoring, evaluating government programs, and tackling corruption through internal mechanisms, added Maj. Asiimwe. “Leaders should ensure transparency and there is also a toll-free line for reporting misconduct, enabling citizens to participate in the fight against corruption without fear.”

In lengthy comments, Maj. Asiimwe mentioned on the corruption issues and expressed concern about how the corrupt isolate the noncorrupt officials in the region. But she advised that they would rather be isolated than going to jail, the President has strongly de-campaigned the misuse of government resources like PDM for personal gains, including favouritism and corruption.
