Lira, Uganda | The Ministry of Local Government has delivered a new double-cabin pickup vehicle to Lira City West Division in a move aimed at strengthening service delivery and improving administrative efficiency.
The vehicle was officially handed over to the Mayor of Lira City West Division, Rose Amolo Ongom, at the Division Headquarters on November 5, 2025.
Upon receiving the vehicle, Mayor Amolo expressed appreciation to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his continued support towards improving local government operations across the country.
She noted that the Division has long faced challenges related to limited transport for field monitoring and coordination of community programs, and the arrival of the vehicle is expected to ease these constraints.
She further acknowledged the role of the Minister of Local Government, Raphael Magezi, for facilitating the fulfillment of the presidential pledge, adding that the vehicle will enhance responsiveness and efficiency in serving residents within the Division.
During the event, Rev. Canon Captain Moses Peter Ocweo, Vicar of St. Augustine Bar-Ogole and Archdeacon of Lira Urban Archdeaconry, encouraged local leaders and public servants to demonstrate accountability, unity, and integrity in the use of government resources.
He emphasized that the vehicle should support public programs and not be diverted for personal benefit, stressing the importance of responsible leadership in community service.
The newly delivered double-cabin pickup is registered under UG 3400263 and is expected to support field supervision, monitoring of public works, and community engagement activities across Lira City West Division.
