Mityana's Kansuleeti Residents Seek Intervention in Village Records Dispute

What the report says

Residents of Kansuleeti in Mityana Municipality are asking local authorities to step in over a dispute about village records they say were not handed over by former chairperson William Bukenya to the incoming leader, Sulaiman Kinobe Mwegayegaye. The concern, as reported by Nile Post, is that the missing files are slowing the new administration’s ability to track unresolved matters and respond to community needs.

According to the residents, the records are important for a smooth transfer of leadership and for keeping village administration continuous. They say the documents would help the new chairperson understand pending issues, follow up on complaints raised by residents and manage local affairs more effectively. The article says the community believes delays in the handover could weaken service delivery and create avoidable confusion.

Resident Betty Kyambadde urged the relevant authorities to help resolve the matter so the new leadership can work without obstacles. Kinobe also said the lack of records has made it harder to deal with issues brought by residents, while Harriet Namagembe called for a peaceful settlement that does not disrupt community services.

The report places the dispute within routine local-government transition concerns, where records and files are needed to maintain continuity. No final resolution was reported, but residents asked both chairpersons and the authorities to cooperate to restore orderly administration in the village.
