Ø To avoid selfishness as political and civil servants do
their work. he encouraged them to work as a team. and not for selfish or ill intensions
Ø To be very transparent in all ways as they do their work.
Ø he also encouraged both political and civil workers to
constantly hold meetings since meetings are good management tools
Ø He encouraged both political and civil servants to be
efficient and effective as they execute their duties in order to register
results in their performance.
Ø He also encouraged everybody to always carry out medical
checkup as many diseases always affect people unknowingly, so medical checkup
on personal or family basis would help mitigate some unnecessary deaths.
Ø He encouraged the community to embrace education. He said
that “In the world on today and tomorrow, no one can be able to survive unless
he/she is educated.” he therefore advised parents to stop taking alcohol, meat,
buy clothes in favor of educating their children.
Ø He encouraged community members to work hard to conserve
the environment especially by planting trees as much as they can, making
Terraces in their gardens. He challenges the sub county Agricultural officers
to copy the scientific farming methods used in Kabale hills and be applied in
Kasese as well.
Ø He encouraged all civil servants especially health
workers to serve everybody in his/her capacity regardless of religion and political
party for better service delivery.
Ø He encouraged all people to invest in tourism activities
since Kasese is a tourist attraction area. people should setup craft shops
along roads and also engage in any other tourism activity in order to get money
Ø He encouraged people to use the wealth creation strategy
like; encouraging people who were given seedlings to plant them and share them with
other people, and those who were given animals like cows, pigs and goats, keep
them well and share them with your neighbors and group mates as they produce.
Ø He concluded his remarks with encouraging people not to
rely on free things. in his words, he said that “There are No free things on
this earth.” “Even what is given as free, you must incure a cost to maintain It.”
He therefore encouraged people to work hard and use the little resources and opportunities
to earn a living and improve their livelihood.

Very many community members, civil servants, elders and
political leaders embraced his visit and described it very unique in nature as
they have not experience a Chief and busy his office is visiting and having
time with local people for interactions.
Alongside him, he moved with the senior Education Officer
to highlight on education issues, the Human resource officer to clarify on
civil service, salary and pension issues and the Information Officer to
document all the discussions. all these officers encouraged people basically on
issues of educating young children, environmental protection through tree
planting, good farming methods and production by producing more local thing for
