Mr. Ogwang Steven, the Deputy Resident District Commissioner Budaka, has called upon all the contractors to do quality work that meets a taste of time. The call was made on Friday 20th February 2026 during the signing of contracts and handing over of sites to the contractors as they commence their work. The meeting attracted several different stakeholders comprising of the CAO,    DISO,DEO,Senior Procurement Officer, Acting District Engineer, DHO and contractors. The Deputy RDC noted that contractors have a tendency of saving and at the end do shoddy work that has sometimes resulted in structures being broken down during supervision, some having cracks even before commissioning and others collapsing within a short period of time.“We expect a lot from you contractors and  as such, you need to do good work that will sell your company even to other places, when you fail to achieve our expectations ,you will loose out in our contracts next time since we would have known the kind of work you do,” RDC said.He also encouraged them to do the work as per what is stipulated in the Bills of Quantities. He reminded them of their cardinal role to supervise, monitor and give guidance to see that work goes on well. Mr. Ogwang tasked the contractors to ensure that they accomplish all their work within the contract period since they are behind schedule. He further advised them to cooperate with all stakeholders for the successful implementation of the projects.He warned the stakeholders against spoiling the image of government with what they do. He implored the contractors to be faithful as they do their work to avoid being at loggerheads with the project managers and the Engineers. He then appreciated government for the support rendered to Budaka across all the service areas.Mr. Egesa Anthony, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Budaka, urged the contractors to use local people from within Budaka as labor while on site executing their work alongside their other workers.He also encouraged the communities to own up the projects and ensure they keep an eye on what the contractors are doing.“Do not attack the contractors as they do their work but rather report to the project managers who are technical enough to guide the contractors in case of any issues,” DCAO added. He appreciated Government of Uganda for bring services closer to the people evident by school and health facilities that are being constructed in the district. The District Education Officer, Mr. Waako Richard, who represented the Chairperson Contracts Committee during the contract signing meeting, congratulated the contractors upon being successful during the procurement process.
