According to a Uganda Daily, Masaka Town is about to gain City Status. Authorities in Masaka Municipality want the administrative boundaries of the town expanded in pursuit of a city status. According to Mr Godfrey Kayemba, the municipality mayor, the proposed expansion is one of the priorities lined up in his new term of office. Speaking to Daily Monitor on Monday, Mr Kayemba said the expansion will involve annexing four more parishes of Kitengeesa in Buwunga Sub-county, Kirimya in Kabonera Sub-county, Ssamariya in Buwunga Sub-county and Kalagala in Mukungwe Sub-county into the municipality.
