Illegal structures have been built in forest reserves in Mbarara, the district works committee chairman has said.
Abdulkarim Ssengendo reports that Asiimwe Ntengye told the council last week that the buildings were found in Rwemitongore village in Ntamityobora forest reserve.
In the five-page report, Ntengye said illegal temporary leases had been issued by the district land board to the occupants in the forest reserve.
He asked the council to revoke the leases, but the councillors asked the committee to do a thorough investigation and name individuals involved.
Ntengye also reported that municipality staff houses were in a sorry state and needed repair.
The chairperson for the social services committee, Jesca Byaruhanga, reported that Nyamityobora health centre had no power, ceiling and store.
She said the centre was also affected by the noise from the nearby market and video halls.
Byaruhanga also reported that Kakoba health center III, had no laboratory, dental equipment, maternity wing and is understaffed.
