Although the money to buy the first batch of bicycles for LCI chairpersons across the country was embezzled last financial year, the government has not yet forgotten the LCI executives.

We are reliably informed that the government has bought the second batch of bicycles for LCI chairpersons across the country.

The sources in the line ministry tells this reporter that each LCI chairperson across the country will get his or her bicycle before the LCI national elections could be held.

The Government first promised to buy LCI chairpersons bicycles in September 2009.

President Museveni in September 2009 told Parliament that the government would buy bicycles for the LCI chairpersons and motorcycles for LCIII.

He said the LC3 and Gombolola chiefs had already got the motorcycles. But we have not yet known when the LCI chairpersons would get the bicycles promised to them.
