development.
"Our aim is to
provide part of our revenues to the community and ensure education and
health sectors record good performance," he noted.
Nyamagana District
Commissioner (DC), Dr Philis Nyimbi urged other government institutions

government in its efforts to improve education and health
infrastructures in the country.
