Overview

Before 1 July 2017, Bunyangabu was a county in neighboring Kabarole District. On that day, the new district became operational. Bunyangabu comprises Rwimi, Kibiito, Buheesi, Kiyombya, Kisomoro, Kabonero, Kateebwa sub-counties and the urban centers of Rwimi, Kibiito and Rubona. During the first 12 months of operations, the new district has been allocated USh12,758,591,000.[2]

Population

The national census and household survey conducted on 27 August 2014, enumerated the population of the district (at that time, Bunyangabu county in Kabarole District) at 171,292 people.[6]

Prominent people

Notable people who hail from Bunyangabu include: (1) Adolf Mwesige, the current area member of parliament and current minister of defence, (2) Peace Mutuuzo, the current Minister of State for Gender and Culture in the Cabinet of Uganda, and (3) the deputy Resident District Commissioner for Kabarole District, Rose Monday Byabasaija.[2]

Administration

On 1 July 2017, the elected 14 sub-county representatives, who represented Bunyangabu county at the Kabarole district council were transferred to Kibiito to form the district council for the new district. On 3 July 2017 the 14 Bunyangabu district councilors elected, from among themselves, Peter Musingiuzi, to serve as interim district chairman (Local Council V chairperson), until the Uganda Electoral Commission can hold district-wide elections.
