Gulu District has not completed its relocation six years after the creation of Gulu City, according to Uganda Radionetwork. The outlet reported the development on Friday, October 2, 2026.
The report frames the outstanding move as a failure to relocate within that six-year window. Uganda Radionetwork did not, in the headline and summary available, specify which offices, departments or personnel are still awaiting transfer, nor did it give a reason for the delay.
The six-year mark ties the unfinished relocation directly to the point at which the city was established. Uganda Radionetwork presents the two events together, treating the creation of the city as the starting point from which the district's relocation should have been concluded.
What remains unclear from the available reporting is the current status of the move, the number of people or units affected, and any timeline for completion. Those details were not included in the material published by Uganda Radionetwork.
The next thing to watch is whether district and city authorities issue a statement or set a new deadline for finishing the relocation, and whether Uganda Radionetwork follows up with specifics on what is still pending.
