RDC Ssegawa Hands Over LC Handbooks to Councillor Kaddu for Mukono Village Leaders

What the report says

Watchdog Uganda reports that Deputy Resident District Commissioner Mike Ssegawa of Kassanda District has handed over copies of his “LC1 Chairman’s Handbook” to Ntawo Ward Municipal Councillor James Kaddu in Mukono. The books are intended for village leaders in the ward and are meant to support administrative capacity building at the local level.

According to the article, the handover happened over the weekend in Mukono. Councillor Kaddu received the handbooks for distribution to chairpersons in the ward’s nine villages, including Ntawo, Nakabago, Nsambwe A, Nasuuti, Industrial Area, Mulago, Butebe, Lower Kauga and DFI. The piece says the publication is meant to help local leaders understand village administration and improve how they manage day-to-day responsibilities.

Kaddu praised the initiative and said the handbook would be useful, especially for newly elected or inducted Local Council leaders who need practical guidance. He also asked for more copies to be shared more widely across the municipality so that more grassroots leaders could benefit.

The article describes the handbook as a governance and reference manual covering village administration, dispute resolution, legal limits and community development. More broadly, such materials are often used in local governance to help elected officials understand procedures and compliance, though that wider context is general background rather than a specific claim in the report.
