Additional Updates on Recruitment & Health Infrastructure
Chairperson Wilson Otto also addressed crucial administrative challenges and lobbying efforts moving forward:
Patongo H/C IV Funding Return & Supplementary Budget: Money for Patongo H/C IV to a tune of =650 million was returned last financial year because the district did not have a District Service Commission (DSC) in place. The administration is asking for it to be referred to on a supplementary budget, and the new DSC will help formalize the recruitment.
New Health Facilities: Chairperson Otto also lobbied for a new facility to be built by Ministry of Health at Patongo H/C IV and additional 2 H/C IV to reduce the congestion at Patongo H/C IV.
