Ukeyima described the Council’s staff as “highly knowledgeable, experienced, and also equal to the task ahead”
He pledged to be a servant leader, and promised that his tenure will reward hard work and commitment.
“Sometimes we don’t appreciate knowledge but moving forward, we will reward hard work,” he said while thanking the management and staff of the Council for the warm reception.
