DJ Nesta outlines plan for Fort Portal after appointment as RCC

DJ Nesta, whose real name is Larry Macura, vowed to fight corruption, which he believes has hindered development in the western city.

"I want to embark on fighting corruption because it has been the cause of backwardness. Money is sent to districts and cities, and you find it is not operationalized or it is underutilized and sometimes stolen, shoddy work is done, and you find that there is no value for money, I want to make sure that every coin sent to the city is well spent and work is visible," he said.

In addition to tackling corruption, DJ Nesta aims to promote patriotism among citizens, which he believes has been lacking.

DJ Nesta attributed his appointment to his experience working with the President's Office as a regional coordinator since 2015.

"I received a phone call from the president's office informing me about the good news of my appointment. Well, I have been working with the president's office for some time since 2015," he explained.

"I have been the regional coordinator for Mzee (Museveni) under his Office of the National Chairman (ONC). I have been handling the entire Tooro from Kyegegwa to Bunyangabo, Ntoroko, Kamwenge, etc. I feel they have seen my performance, and this is it."

When asked if he would discontinue his broadcasting career, DJ Nesta responded, "Not at all. We have doctors, musicians, and other professionals in parliament, but they don't stop thriving in their professions. I am a trained broadcaster and I love it with passion."

DJ Nesta's broadcasting career spans over two decades, starting with his first gig on radio during his S.4 vacation in 2000 at Capital FM. He has since worked with various radio stations, including Kara FM, Endigyito Radio, Star FM, Vision Radio, and Gold FM, which he reportedly sold.

As the new Assistant RCC for Fort Portal City, DJ Nesta is determined to make a positive impact in his community and promote development through his new role.
