Larry Macura popularly known as DJ Nesta in Western Uganda and a sports commentator is one of the many individuals that were appointed by President Museveni as a deputy RDC. He will apparently serve as the assistant Resident City Commissioner (RCC) for Fort Portal City.
Apparently, the President recently appointed 300 assistant RDC’s to help in the mobilization of communities for development. Besides, these will also assist the RDC’s who are said to be overwhelmed with the volume of their work.
Speaking about his appointment, he said that he’s excited about his new job and he will focus on fighting corruption. This is because it’s one of the major problems hindering service delivery.
“That’s correct. I want to embark on fighting corruption because it has been the cause of backwardness. If 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 told the media on Sunday.
Additionally, he said that: “I will also embark on building patriotism that has been lacking; many people have lost love for their country.”
DJ Nesta also revealed that he’s pursuing a bachelor’s degree in law at Uganda Pentecostal University. This is where the goof news of his appointment found him. He believes that his work as a regional coordinator with the President’s office is why he got appointed.
“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 noted.
“I have been the regional coordinator for mzee (Museveni) under the 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,” he explained.
DJ Nesta who currently works with Gold FM in Fort Portal City was asked if he plans on halting his radio career. He said that he won’t because there are other public servants still doing their jobs.

“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. I love it with passion.”
Dj Nesta was a household name in the 2000’s in Western Uganda due to his brilliant sports commentary. His illustrious radio career has seen him work on several radios such as Capital FM, Kara FM, Endigyito Radio, Star FM, Vision Radio before starting 93.3 Gold FM radio that he’s said to have sold.
Congratulations.
