The absence of a substantive Chief Executive Officer at Bukalo Village Council over the past years has resulted in alleged maladministration and poor service delivery.

The council's challenges were highlighted by the Chairperson of the Bukalo Village Council's Management Committee, Simataa Mubonda, during a swearing-in ceremony where he was re-elected.

Mubonda says the council continues to operate with a shoe-string budget, resulting in a shortfall in services such as sewer reticulation and town planning.
