Politicians

Sir aware that Kahokya Sub-County has not done elections yet however we still submit to Lake Katwe Sub-County Council and present with us here us;

  1. Mr. Mbaywana Miseach
  2. Ms. Biira Rachael
  3. Ms. Mbambu Margret PWD

These three Honourable Councilors found themselves in the new created Sub-County of Kahokya.

We have 5 schools scattered in all parishes.

We have a Health Centre II and it is our sincere pray for your intervention to elevate it Health Centre III

With the population of 27000 people their livelihood entirely depends on agriculture as an economic activity growing both food and cash crops.

Source of revenue

Sir we have only 2 markets of Kinyateke and Kahokya both totaling to annual purchase cost of 1,600,000= however, they were disposed off soon before the inception of this office.

Sir during our budgeting we realized more potential areas that could rise our revenue/tax base. We are therefore optimistic with the strong staff, the zeal and competences that Kahokya will forge ahead.

Owc

We have managed to scoop so soon a successful lobbying for inclusion in allocation of 700kg of beans and 1000kg of maize which we have already distributed to 212 farmers and plantation has been done.

UWEP and YLP
