Welcome to Bushenyi Municipality

Overview

The current Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipal Council originated from Bushenyi trading centre that was later elevated to a Town Board and in 1977 it was gazetted as a Town Council. It had been curved out of the present Bumbaire Sub County. Years later Nyakabirizi and St. Kagwa were also added from Bumbeire Sub County. In 1988 Ishaka Town and Kizinda were annexed to make the Bushenyi- Ishaka Town Council. In 2010, some parts of Kashenyi, Buramba, Mazinga, Rwenjeru, Kibaare, Bunyarigi & Ryamabengwa were added to the then Town Council to create Bushenyi Ishaka Municipal Council. The Municipal Council stands on 5 different centres of Nyakabirizi, Bushenyi, Basajabalaba, Ishaka and Kizinda. There are other upcoming centres of St. Kagwa and Kanyamabona. Though these are scattered this gives Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipal Council a unique growth as it is linear and along the major roads. The willingness of the neighboring villages like the recent Ntungamo Parish that joined the Municipal council will further enhance the growth and expansion of the Municipality.
