Under the interim administration of the new city, which takes effect on July 1, executive committees in sub-counties that were annexed to Masaka will be fused into the newly created municipalities of Nyendo/ Mukungwe and Kimaanya /Kabonera.

"District councillors from areas that have been annexed to Masaka will soon join the municipal council to form the interim city council but we are still waiting for the final guidelines from Ministry of Local Government on the fate of the chairpersons of the annexed sub-counties and their executives," Mr Godfrey Kayemba Afaayo, the Masaka Municipality mayor, said on Tuesday.

On the other hand, the new city will also have a woman MP and two other legislators representing the newly created municipalities of Nyendo/ Mukungwe and Kimaanya/ Kabonera.

Aspirants who have so far expressed interest to contest for new Kimaanya /Kabonera Municipality Parliamentary seat include current Masaka Mayor Godfrey Kayemba Afaayo, Masaka District chairperson Jude Mbabaali and Mr Robert Asiimwe, the proprietor of Kingo Parents School.

Kimaanya/ Kabonera Municipality will comprise two sub-counties of Kimaanya/Kyabakuza and Kabonera and two parishes (Kiteredde, Ssenya) from Kingo Sub-county in Lwengo District.
