The Chairperson LC 5, Mr. Gilbert Rubaihayo, thanked Mr. Ssenku for being committed, and working diligently from his first day in Kyenjojo, for always being available when called upon.

“When Mr. Ssenku first arrived in Kyenjojo, I told him to be a deputy CAO, not anything else. And he has one that for the two years he has been here. He would always be in office almost every Monday, despite his family being in Nakasongola. That shows how committed he was”, he remarked. “As Kyenjojo, we shall miss your dedication and humble ways”
