I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Dakabaricha Location of Saku Constituency draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, administration units, in particular chief’s offices, are very important in the grassroots as they facilitate various services required by residents, amongst them issuance of national identification cards (IDs); THAT, chiefs and assistant chiefs appointed to represent a location or sub-location ought to be residents of that particular area; THAT, in July 2015, Mr. David Mulato was recruited as the new chief for Dakabaricha Location; THAT, the appointment appeared to be mismanaged and the person appointed was not the best candidate given the lack of experience and having the best qualification; THAT, the appointment was highly irregular as the right criterion for appointment was not followed; THAT, the majority of the populace of Dakabaricha has serious reservations regarding his appointment which might result in ethnic conflicts in that area; THAT, there have been ongoing silent demonstrations by the locals showing their displeasure with this particular appointment; THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body."}
