Meanwhile, communities in Bugahya County are grappling with a growing crisis as critical services continue to deteriorate under mounting pressure. From mothers in remote villages unable to access emergency medical care due to the lack of a government ambulance, to widespread electricity shortages crippling local businesses, the district is struggling to stay afloat.
Local leaders have raised the alarm, citing a troubling mix of factors, poor road infrastructure, declining local revenue, and severe budget cuts by the Ministry of Finance, as major obstacles undermining service delivery across the district.
