The Minister of Local Government, Hon. Raphael Magyezi, has challenged Town Clerks across the country to position themselves as agents of change and champions of socio-economic transformation within their respective urban authorities. Speaking at the Annual General Assembly for the Town Clerks Association of Uganda (TCAU) held at the Bushenyi Local Government Multipurpose Hall, the Minister emphasized that the technical leadership must take full responsibility for the quality of infrastructure and the standards of service delivery in sectors such as health, education, and the environment.
The meeting comes at a critical time, following the conclusion of the 2026 general elections. Minister Magyezi urged the technical officers to ensure a smooth transition and warned against administrative friction.
“Mayors and Town Clerks must work in harmony to avoid any form of clashing in the execution of their duties,” Magyezi stated. “You have distinct but complementary roles, and your synergy is vital for the development of our urban areas.”

The Minister noted that as the country moves into a new political term, the focus must shift from politics to building strong, resilient infrastructure that supports the government's development agenda.
Echoing the Minister's call for cooperation, the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Bushenyi, Emmy Ngabirano, commended the existing collaboration in the district.
“I appreciate the level of teamwork currently displayed between our technical staff, the political leadership, and my office,” Ngabirano noted during the assembly. “This alignment has significantly enhanced service delivery in Bushenyi, and it serves as a model for what can be achieved through mutual respect and shared goals.”
The assembly serves as a platform for Town Clerks to share best practices and harmonize their operations as they navigate the complexities of managing Uganda's rapidly growing secondary cities and municipalities.
