It is alleged that, in 2019, Gulu City Council received a total of Ugx176, 650, 000 from United Nation Capital Development Fund -UNCDF to help in the branding and rebuilding Local Fiscal Space in the city.
From the above cost about sh56m was allocated for rebranding meanwhile sh88.7m was channeled for building and rebuilding of Local Fiscal Space.
The work should have started in 2020 but there were some delays in the procurement process coupled with the advent of covid-19 lockdowns.
