Bron Kikanshemeza Takes Over as New Rukungiri RDC

Rukungiri: Rukungiri District has officially welcomed its new Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Bron Kikanshemeza, who previously served in Rubirizi District.

Kikanshemeza replaces Steven Nsubuga Bewayo, who had served as RDC of Rukungiri for over four years and was recently transferred to Pakwach District. Before Kikanshemeza’s arrival, Deputy RDC Wilberforce Ahimbisibwe Ongom has been acting in the role since last Thursday.

The official handover took place this morning August 4, at the RDC’s office located at Rukungiri District headquarters in Rukungiri Town.

Present at the handover were Deputy RDC Wilberforce Ongom, Assistant RDCs Karen Kagisha and Mabel Mirembe, Deputy District Internal Security Officer (DISO) Sam Kamugisha, Jackson Mugarura from the DISO’s office, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Hilary Agaba, and other staff from the RDC’s office.

In his remarks, Deputy RDC Wilberforce Ongom warmly welcomed Kikanshemeza and praised the strong teamwork and collaboration within the district leadership. He expressed hope that this spirit would continue under the new leadership.

The new RDC, Bron Kikanshemeza, called for cooperation and teamwork among district leaders. He urged officials to be active in the field, rather than remaining confined to their offices, in order to effectively deliver services to communities.

He also encouraged his deputy and assistant RDCs to work diligently and serve the people without discrimination. Kikanshemeza pledged to be a servant of the people, not a ruler.
