1.0 BACK GROUND

Local government has become one of Uganda’s iconic democratic symbols, especially because of the manner in

which the process of decentralization transfers powers and functions from central government to local

government and promotes public participation at the lowest levels through established structures (Singiza and

De Visser, 2011). Before 1993, local administration structures represented state autocracy and central

government hegemony. The system of local government in Uganda is a five-tiered one, consisting of districts,

counties, sub-counties, parishes and villages. The Constitution of Uganda provides that the district is the basis

of the local government system and that it is a unit under which other lower local government and

administrative structures operate. As BakamaNume (2010) puts it, districts are centers of political and

administrative power.

The creation of new districts and constituencies in Uganda is said to be necessitated by the desire to bring

services nearer to the people, as well as ensuring effective political representation.. Since the NRM government

came to power in 1986, the number of districts, as well as other administrative units, has drastically risen.

Towards the 2016 general elections, Government has proposed the creation of twenty five (25) new districts, as

well as thirty six (36) new constituencies. Currently there are 111 districts and 238 constituencies, excluding the

UPDF, PWDs, Workers, Youth and Women constituencies. The creation of 25 new districts will bring the total

number of districts to 136, while the number of constituencies will increase from the current 238 to 274.

The creation of new districts and constituencies has, often, been received with mixed reactions. The political

class across the political divide has often celebrated the creation of the new administrative units. However,

some opposition politicians have criticized the creation of these administrative units, citing their burden to the

tax payers as well as the entire effect on the public administration of the country.

In addition, the creation of new districts and constituencies has led to numerous disputes and conflict, including

boundary conflicts between the different geographical units. Because some of the districts have been created

with dominant ethnic groups in mind, there have been reports of ethnic tensions arising from the creation of the

new administrative units. It is also reported that the assumed benefit of creating the new administrative units,

notably the improvement in service delivery has not been realized, and that rather, service delivery has been

grossly undermined by the huge public administration expense dictated by the large number of public servant

hired to manage the new administrative units. All these, and other unknown factors, have led to various

conflicts associated with the creation of new districts and constituencies as the proposed assessment will

establish.

2.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

This section covers the approach and methods used during the assessment including the sampling process and

how it was done, data collection, data analysis and processing, precaution taken for quality control.

2.1 Assessment Methodology

2.1.1 Sampling

Purposive, random and convenience sampling were employed during selection of districts and respondents. For

instance, only SAFE districts and specific informants were selected and involved in the assessment. During

Sampling, purposive approach was used to select districts and SAFE grantees while random sampling was used

to select local government officials at district and sub-county levels (political leaders and technical officers). To

reach the respondents, random sampling was also employed to obtain respondents from the general population

(ordinary citizens).

2.2 Geographical coverage

A total of 18 districts where covered including; Gulu, Lira, Amuru, Jinja, Masaka, Hoima, Nebbi,

Moroto, Kibaale, Kiboga, Arua, Mbarara, Tororo, Soroti, Buliisa, Masindi, Mityana and Wakiso. The

districts of Mbarara, Mukono and Mbale were not be included in the assessment because SAFE is yet to

support interventions in those mentioned Districts. Mukono district has neither a SAFE grantee nor

conflict monitors. Mbale and Mbarara have only conflict monitors.

2.2.1 Respondents

The four categories of target respondents include local government officials at both district and sub-

county levels, ordinary citizens and SAFE grantees. Details of the target respondents are provided in

2.3. Data Collection

Data sources gathered during this assessment included; secondary and primary sources. Literature from

publications, media articles and conflict monitors’ training reports were reviewed and included. Primary

data was also obtained through conducting interviews with respondents focusing on capturing qualitative

data.

2.3.1 Data Collection Methods Used

Email, telephone and face to face interviews were conducted by the SAFE team and conflict monitors.

Details of the methods that was employed for the specific respondents by the different enumerators are

provided in Annex Table 3.

2.3.2 Tools

A brief and easy to administer open ended questionnaire was administered to all respondents. (See

Annex)

2.2.3 Ethical consideration and confidentiality

The SAFE team and conflict monitors ensured that, data collection is done in an ethical manner. SAFE

grantees received the interview questionnaire by e-mail. The SAFE team made phone calls to the grantees

prior to e-mailing the questionnaire and after the grantees have received them to ensure that any

questions regarding the assessment where answered. The grantees returned the completed questionnaire

within one week from the date of receipt of the questionnaire.

3.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

The demarcation of districts in Uganda is governed by the 1995 Constitution and is based on three factors

(Green 2008; Singiza and De Visser, 2011). First, the change or alteration to a district boundary must be based

on the need for effective administration. Secondly, it must be based on the need to bring services closer to the

people. Thirdly, the means of communication, geographical features, population density, economic viability and

the “wishes of the people concerned” must be considered. In this regard, demarcation of new districts is driven

by the need to create more space for nurturing democracy and stimulating development and service delivery at

the local level by creating closer proximity between communities and local government. Creation of districts

also recognizes diversity a value that the constitution upholds. This is expected to promote cooperation,

understanding, appreciation, tolerance and respect among citizens for each other's customs, traditions and

beliefs. Accommodation of diversity has for example led to demarcation of new districts for minority groups

such as the Baruli and Banayala who are found in the districts of Naksongola and Kayunga.

Following the post-1993 decentralization programme, the number of districts in Uganda, has since grown in

leaps and bounds. According to Singiza and De Visser (2011) there were 33 districts in 1988 however, the

number of districts over the last decade indicates a progressive increase. For example, between 1986 and 1997,

11 new districts were created. In 2000, 11 new districts were created while in 2005, the year preceding the 2006

elections, 22 new districts were created. In 2006, the year following the elections, 9 districts were created, and

the total number grew to 112 (including Kampala) by the end of 2010, up from 79 in 2006. By 2008, Uganda

had experienced a near explosion in the number of districts, going from 39 to 79 in less than a decade (Green,

2008).

According to the New Vision newspaper published on July 19 2012, the government through the ministry of

Local Government announced creation of an additional 25 districts. This was to be effected in phases until July

2015, following approval by parliament.

The district is a basic unit within which electoral areas are determined and therefore, counties represent

constituencies for national elections. Creation of new districts inevitably increases the number of new

constituencies which have to be created for national elections (Singiza and De Visser, 2011).

Creation of new Districts is a form of Decentralization by government where powers and functions are

transferred from central government to local government with the aim of promoting public participation at the

lowest levels through Established structures as stated in the long title to local government Act Cap 234.

7

The system of local government in Uganda is a five tiered one consisting of Districts; Counties, Sub-counties,

parishes and villages or wards. Only Districts, cities and municipalities and sub-counties are legal persons with

capacity to sue and be sued and vested with Executive and Legislature powers.1

The Autonomy of Local Government finds expression in the powers and functions of Districts as the main unit

of local governance.2 Districts are centers of political and administrative powers3 and they are mandated to

perform a range of functions which include: - they provide Education services as well as medical and health

services by running Hospitals. They are further tasked with provision of maternity and child welfare services

and control of communicable Diseases such as HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. Districts also are mandated

to control the spread of Diseases and provide Rural Ambulance and primary Health care. In addition, Districts

provide water services, including maintenance of water supplies in liaison with the relevant line ministry.

Finally Districts are required to provide Road services.4

Therefore the creation of new Districts is very relevant and useful in Uganda if it is made on 3 broad principles

which are: the change or alteration to a District Boundary must be based on the need for effective

Administration; secondly it must be based on the need to bring services closer to the people and thirdly the

means of communication, geographical features and population density, economic viability and wishes of

people concerned must be considered5.

Therefore if the creation of new Districts was based on the above principles, it would be viable and necessary

in that new employment opportunities would be created, service delivery would be improved and created,

service delivery would be improved and democratic principles of public participation would be fostered in the

local level and monitoring and Evaluation of government projects and activities would be more effective. In

addition increasing the number of local government units would promote closer proximity of communities to

their leaders which promotes good governance, since communities are given a chance to demand explanations

more quickly and more easily from smaller local government units than from big local government units. The

creation of new Districts would also enhance the states’ Ability to address poverty as decision-making at lowest

levels is able to synchronize development with needs of communities.6

However despite the existence of criteria for creating new districts, there is evidence that some of the newly

created districts serve as inducements to communities to vote for a specific political party the National

Resistance Movement which has the majority Number of members in parliament. Oloka Onyango remarks that,

“the strategy of District Proliferation has been adopted by President Museveni as a means of dispensing

patronage and ultimately of splintering challenges to central government hegemony and control.7 Therefore this

procedure has affected Ugandan state from realizing its social-economic rights.

Reports of Newly created Districts paints a grim picture, “for more than 10 months now, Luuka District which

has a population of more than 200,000 people continues to manage without a single medical doctor and as a

result the delivery of Health services is severely hampered.Only a single Health Centre Exists in the New

Districts carved out of Iganga but renders services not be fitting for a facility of its grade”.8

Due to Uganda’s high illiteracy rate, low levels of income and high levels of unemployment, it is most likely

that a considerable number of people elected as District Councilors and other staff consider their new offices as

a means to escape poverty. This is evidenced by the Auditor General’s report of 2009 which notes wide spread

financial Mismanagement and corruption in the local government revenue, excessive expenditure without

Authority, poor accountability, Un vouched expenditure, irregular procurement of goods and services, Non-

remittance to URA, diversion of funds and wasteful expenditure.9

Also the 2009 Annual Assessment of minimum conditions and performance measures for local governments,

assessed local governments in areas such as compliance levels with legal and policy guidelines in finance and

Accounting, procurement and Disposal regulations, capacity to manage discretionary development and

highlighted that of the 80 Districts assessed, only 42% were rewarded for good performance, 30% were labeled

static meaning there was no improvement while 28% penalized for under performance10. Therefore in

conclusion, although creation of new Districts has positive impact to growth of Uganda and ensures that

communities can participate in local politics which they can be identified with, the creation of these districts and

Constituencies must be backed by valid reasons highlighted above if they are to be effective and improve

conditions of local persons.

4.0 KEY FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT

10

4.1. Opinion regarding the creation of new districts and constituencies in Uganda

According to stakeholders and citizens SAFE interacted with ; creation of new constituencies and districts

wouldn’t have been a bad idea, rather, the units are being created out of political influence and interest. The

Assistant Chief administrative Officer of Kibale remarks that “Buyaga and Bungangaizi counties, were also

divided into two in 2010 out of political influence and not service delivery. i.e. Buyaga East and Buyaga West

& Bungangayize East and Bungangayizi West”.

The Creation of new districts and constituencies in Uganda is costly to the citizens because of high

expenses to develop them. These therefore comes with; increase in the number of Members of Parliament

which demand additional budget to facilitate them. The country is becoming indebted due to increased

government expenditure and recurrent expenditures which comes as result of creating new districts and

constituencies.

In addition, the creation of new Districts is uncalled for and intentioned for political manipulation and

one of the regime survival ways and strategy for enhancing political patronage system. It is a time bomb

that awaits detonation since there is bound to be a lot of conflicts most often degenerate into violent

conflicts including ethno-political disagreements, boundary conflicts, resources utilization skirmishes,

promotes intolerance in terms since the creation may be based on favoring a certain category of people or

religion, that is why you hear statements like “This constituency was created for me please, do not

dare”( DCDO Gulu).

The practice is politically motivated and has no positive bearing on local governance. The creation of new

districts is just a burden to Local Governments because new administrative units encroach on the already

minimal resources. There is no direct linkage between the creation of new administrative units and

improvement on social service delivery.

Besides, it has been noted that, the assumed benefit of creating the new administrative units, notably the

improvement in service delivery has not been realized, rather, service delivery has been grossly undermined by

the huge public administration expense dictated by the large number of public servants hired to manage the new

administrative units.

The creation of new districts has however come with key associated benefits includingbringing the

services closer to the people, employment opportunities, health services, improved road network, power

and participation of the local community members in the government interventions.

11

4.2. Conflicts caused as a result of creation of new districts and constituencies in Uganda

The most common conflicts noted as a result of creation of new districts ranges from; Land conflict

where people struggle for boundaries, political conflicts especially during election among politicians

where individuals due to greed struggle to attain power or secure more votes by inciting groups and

boundaries conflicts as discussed below;

The creation of Bullisa District in July 2006 caused violent clashes between members of the majority Bagungu

Ethnic group and Banyarwanda pastrolists known locally as Balaalo. Accusations that Balaalo had allowed their

cattle to graze onto Bagungu agricultural land and destroy crops led to bloody clashes in June and July 2007

Drawing anti-Riot Police and attempts by central government to resettle Balolo elsewhere in Uganda. Despite

evidence that Balaalo first purchased land in the region in 2003, it is not able to note that there is no record of

Bagungu/ Balaalo clashes before creation of Buliisa District. In addition new districts has resulted to creation

of factions like the BERO and Umoja in Buliisa District which has caused conflictsand sometimes

aggression between tribes.

In addition, Eastern Uganda tension erupted between the Iteso of Tororo and Jupadhola escalated after decision

of government to split Tororo District in to two: Mukuju District for the Iteso and Kisoko District for the

Jupadhola. Whereas the Iteso welcomed this move, Jupadhola where are angry at the split and are owing to do

all it takes to keep Tororo District intact.11

Pader and Lira border conflict led to fight between the Lango and the Acholi. Initially Pader was in

Kitgum District, after the new creation, the district leaders of pader and Lira started struggling on the

border issues between the two districts, and the matter was mediated by the paramount chiefs of both

tribes but people around the border still live in fear of one another because it caused lost of lives and

destruction of property.

Currently there is a bitter conflict between Mubenda and Kibaale Districts over the boundaries, there are

also internal geographical conflicts among sub-counties because when districts are created the other

lower units are also created. In addition there also natural resource related conflicts especially regarding

access, utilization and management. For example Kibaale and Mubenda have been in arms on who should

be in charge of some areas in regard to collection of revenues i.e the Ccess Tax.

It increase tribal conflict like in case of Buliisa District where Bugungu feel that they are the native of

Buliisa District all jobs and political positions must be felt by Bugungu not any other tribes. This has

greatly affected service delivery. Where the sub-county is dominated by other tribes the service is poor

and level of education is low.

Besides, in North East and West Nile region a number of border /boundary conflicts between the new and

the former district over resources and location of key infrastructures have greatly increased as a result of

creation of new districts including; Adjumani and Amuru districts along the border areas of Apar Joka in

Pabbo sub-county, Elegu and Bibia in Atiak sub county, Napak and Moroto borders over Nadunget area

among others. In Moroto District the Tepeth constituency to be granted has already caused conflict

among the locals, because the areas rich in the minerals like gold, marble, silver, will be curbed under

Tepeth, the question is how will the other communities that are not Tepeth benefit?. At the moment the

constituency has been grated but not yet passed because the politicians of the Tepeth and the Matheniko

are disagreeing on reasons of land boundaries and minerals.

Tribal and religious clashes and disintegration of communities also emerge as some tribes fund

themselves in a different location altogether where they didn’t belong previously with different groups.

For instance Alur of Nebbi district and the Acholi in the newly created district of Nwoya, The Moslem

community in Eastern Budama feel left out in key positions in Tororo municipality hence are among

those agitating for district status.

4.3. Challenges and consequences of the creation of new districts and constituencies in Uganda

Creation of new Districts increases government expenditure to establish facilities including, district

headquarters and labour wages and increases on supervision burdens of central government and therefore

creation of new districts overlaps governments already Deficit Budget. It is estimated that the wages and

salaries for a new district cost Shs. 1.2Billion (Us $500) per annum. Therefore creation of New Districts puts

pressure on local government’s staff expenditure and diverts resources needed for service delivery to

administrative and salary costs and therefore since districts create little revenue in terms of Self-financing, An

increase in the number of districts results in greater dependency to central government for financing resulting

into deficit budgets.

Growth of districts also has an impact on human resources and technical capacity. Every district must have a

Districts Chairperson as a political head, a vice chairperson, speaker and Deputy Speaker and councilors

including those councilors that cater for special groups such as women, youth and disabled ,with number of

Districts now standing at over 112, this makes Uganda one of most governed countries in sub-Saharan Africa

13

and therefore compromises the capacity of local government system to produce quality District representative

such as Councilors in that some cannot speak English in some Districts which makes their output and

effectiveness to promotion of service delivery lacking.

Besides the above, it has increased breeding ground for corruption leading to poor service delivery to the

community, conflicts within the district and un equal resource allocation.

Creation of these constituencies and districts are believed to be given as a reward for political support,

this has resulted too greedy for power, encourages ethnic divisions with its associated challenges

including, conflict over boundaries, poor service delivery due to lack of skills man power and financial

resources and poor service delivery due to inadequate local revenue and over-dependence on the central

government

4.4. Recommendations

There is need to create an independent body whose role is to advise government on creation of a new district

once the need arises so as to ensure that the process is free from political manipulation. In addition there is need

for promulgation of an Act of parliament which calls for public hearings of people affected before creation of a

new district.

Criteria for creating new districts must be based on administrative consideration and service delivery criteria which

includes promotion of democratic citizenship, improvement of efficiency and special regard must be given to other

territories occupied by specific cultural linguistic and ethnic communities.

Government should consider benchmarks like ability of the area to raise substantial revenue from its

locally available resources to support its activities before the creation of new districts.

Government should embark on creation of new sub-counties and parishes to ensure services are taken closer to

the people this will greatly improve service delivery since these will bear minimal cost compared to creation of

new districts.
