At the beginning 2013, Village leaders in Kamonyi district were given about 694 mobile telephones with operating SIM cards.
The phone bills will be paid by Kamonyi district.
Beneficiaries also include security personnel operating in cells. The move is aimed at reducing challenges in communication on security between local leaders and the district leaders.
These telephones will be used by the village leaders, the army, Police, reserved forces in the cells giving out information to other authority levels in the district.
This will make the process of information delivery quicker and easy as Gerard Niyonsenga a village leader of Shaka village in Cyambwe cell of Musambira sector explained.
The executive secretaries of all cells appreciated the act of giving out mobile telephones to village leaders adding that most of the times information delivery was delayed due to lack of telephones or credits to make the much desired call.
