Namisindwa, Uganda: The newly-elected Namisindwa District LCV Chairperson, Mr Bwayo Emma, has pledged to streamline administrative systems and prioritise career growth for public servants as part of a broader agenda to restore efficiency, integrity and public trust in the district.
Bwayo, who becomes the youngest district LC5 chairperson-elect in Namisindwa’s history, was declared winner of the Thursday, January 22, 2026, local government elections after polling 37,170 votes, defeating incumbent Jackson Wakweika, who garnered 21,619 votes.
Speaking shortly after his victory, Bwayo said Namisindwa District has for years grappled with challenges including corruption, weak systems and stagnation within the public service, which he said have negatively affected service delivery.
“My first task is to build strong systems that work,” Bwayo said, adding that his administration will focus on structures rather than personalities to ensure sustainable governance.
He called for cooperation from all residents, cautioning that reforms may not be comfortable for everyone.
“The process may involve hurting some people, but systems must be streamlined without fear or favour,” he said, stressing that appointments and deployments will be based strictly on merit, competence and integrity.
Bwayo also committed to prioritising career growth for district staff, pledging to ensure fair and transparent promotions, improved working conditions and a supportive environment to motivate public servants.
He further assured residents of open, accessible and accountable leadership, saying his office will remain responsive to the needs and concerns of the people.
Bwayo Emma is expected to be sworn in on May 24, 2026, officially ushering in a new administration at the district headquarters.
