In Bushenyi—

The embattled Bushenyi Ishaka municipal engineer Deus Nuwagaba has finally resigned amidst corruption reports.

According to the outgoing town clerk David Betega, the resignation was accepted and the engineer left the municipality forever.

The town clerk told www.mknewslink.com that the engineer gave weak excuses but his resignation was accepted because of his bad record.

The civil society led by Apollo Lee Kakonge, residents and the minister of Local government Raphael raised a red flag against his corrupt tendencies.

The Bushenyi-Ishaka municipal engineer was interdicted alongside his treasurer Jackson Muhwezi  and procurement Officer Roberto Nuwagira in March 2020 on the orders of the minister of local government for mishandling and illegally using the municipality funds.

The municipal treasurer was convicted and ordered to pay back the mismanaged money while the procurement officer and the engineer were allowed to go back to office after mandatory 6 months.

However, Bushenyi Ishaka Municipal engineer Deus Nuwagaba later revealed to his boss the town clerk David Betega that he would not return to office until the mayor Jackson Kamugasha retired out of office.
