In Bushenyi—
Bushenyi district public accounts committee PAC yesterday chased twice the district Engineer Barnabas Mbonimpa Kiiza after he failed to account for one billion shillings meant for roads.
The committee chaired by Kamadhi Muhammed from Kyamuhunga town council told the media after the hectic day that the internal and external auditors queried the fake accountabilities provided by Eng. Mbonimpa and asked PAC to investigate him so that he vomits the money.
The roads that are in poor shape according to Johnson Nagasha are in Kyeizooba, Bumbaire, Kyabugimbi, Ruhumuro, Bitooma whereas the money was released to work on them in the four quarters of last year.
Nagasha noted that they will ensure that Mbonimpa refunds the money or he is interdicted and demoted.
Mbonimpa has been Bushenyi district engineer since early 1990s. He was an engineer when greater Bushenyi still had Ntungamo as one of its counties.
The new Chief Administrative Officer Ms. Phionah Sanyu spent the whole day in PAC meeting looking at all the staff that had queries and she told www.mknewslink.com after the meeting that the new chapter must be started because she can’t allow to work in an environment where staff are corrupt.
The chairperson of the roads committee Hon. Annet Mugisha Katusiime resigned recently because of the mess in the roads sector orchestrated by Eng. Mbonimpa.
The supervisor of works in the department Eng. Katungi retired early this financial year and the member of the committee Nagasha told www.mknewslink.com that Katungi must come back and account for the one billion he spent with Mbonimpa.
