About 11,000 residents of Kisoro Town Council are facing shortage of clean water after the service of the company contracted to supply water was terminated. George and Company Ltd has been treating, supplying and pumping water from Chuho Dam to residents of the town council and neighbouring sub-counties for the last three years.
The town clerk, Mr Isaiah Tumwesigye, told Daily Monitor last week that they had applied to the Ministry of Water to allow them takeover water management to solve the crisis and avoid disease outbreak.
Poor service
"Because of poor service delivery, we advised the district contracts committee not to renew their contract," he said. However, the director of George and Company Ltd, Mr George Tumusime, said the termination of his company's services was malicious. Other bidders had earlier contested the award of the contract citing irregularities in the bidding process.
