Kabale | RedPepper Digital – The outgoing Kabale Resident District Commissioner, Darius Nandinda, has on Friday officially handed over office to the New Resident District Commissioner, Godfrey Nyakahuma.

The handover took place in the RDC office on Makanga hill in Kabale municipality.

Nandinda was recently transferred to Nakasongola district, in a mini-reshuffle by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, while Nyakahuma was transferred to Kabale from Bugiri district.

In his handover speech, Nandinda commended the people of Kabale, for giving him an enabling environment to work and to serve them for the last nine years. He also asked his successor, to cooperate and work with the people of Kabale, describing them as very hardworking and straightforward people, who tell truth to power.

Nandinda, however, asked his successor to always handle with care, matters related to land, saying that land matters in Kabale district, are so sensitive and asked his Nyakahuma to exhibit a great degree of unity and cooperation. He commended Nyakahuma for mentoring him into RDC’s job when he was appointed in 2013

On his part, Nyakahuma commended, Nandinda for working hard for the people of Kabale and promoting the agenda of the National Resistance Movement-NRM government, promising that he will begin from where his predecessor stopped.

He also dispelled rumours that had been making rounds that Nandinda had refused to hand over the office, saying that the handover had to be done at an appropriate time, since Nandinda, had to first go and assume office at his new place of work.

Nyakahuma, retaliated his desire to work with all other leaders, so as to realize peace and development in the district.

Nandinda’s handover was later followed by a scientific farewell and welcoming party of him and the incoming RDC including two army officers that took place at Arcadia cottages in Kitumba Sub County, Kabale district amidst tight security and strict observation of the standard operating procedures.
