However, during a meeting with the municipal town clerk, Mr Ambrose Ocen, on Tuesday, residents said they do not want the project on the health centre land, arguing that they were not consulted.

The residents also told the town clerk that there are people who want to grab part of the health centre land that was left out in the new land title secured for the facility and called for another survey.

Mr Asuman Bajampola, one of the residents, instead demanded that authorities secure funds for fencing the health centre IV land as it is vulnerable to land grabbers.

Some of the residents earlier accused the Municipal Physical Planner, Mr Charles Nyapendo, of leaving out an acre of the health centre land.

However, Mr Nyapendo said a survey conducted in 2017, the year in which he assumed office, managed to secure a land title of 2.7 acres belonging to the health centre, among other property.
