The 11th council of Gulu district have yesterday conducted their last council meeting, crediting God for a good beginning and ending of the 11th council.
The 11th council of Gulu district commenced on 19th May 2021 and ended yesterday 30th April 2026, which they say was mixed with great achievements and some challenges as well but God helped them sailed through until the last moment.
Speaking during the last full council meeting, the outgoing speaker for Gulu district council who doubles as the woman member of parliament elect for Gulu district, Ayoo Jenneth Phoebe Obol congratulated the members for completing their task successfully, rating the 11th council as the best and stating that nobody can take that credit but God himself.
Ayoo advised the 12th council who are coming after her to invest in their personal development, have a side hustle so that they have a good source of livelihood because they cannot depend on the little they get from the council.
Ayoo asks the 12th council to fight corruption because the president of the Republic of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni hates corruption but he can’t fight it alone, it needs a combined effort.
She urges them to be the eyes of the president in fighting corruption.
Ayoo asked the 12th council to stay united as they serve and adjust their minds to work with anybody they find in any office.
She cautions technical staff that the council is their employer therefore they should respect council and desist from issues of leaving council meetings when they want and coming in anytime they want.
Balingtone P’ Ongwec the male councillor 5 representing the people of Bungatira subcounty in Gulu district says that the 11th council was faced mainly with challenges and a few successes simply because the political head was’nt focused on important issues hence making Gulu district as a whole decline in performance.
