The re-opening of the offices at Bushenyi -Ishaka Municipal headquarters has been postponed till Friday 6th March when the minister for Local government Raphael Magyezi will come to sort out their issues.
According to Raphael Magyezi who talked to www.mknewslink.com today morning in a telephone interview, offices shall remain closed until when he comes on 6th March Friday.
The district chairman Jaffari Bassajabalaba said that yesterday they held a meeting with two commissioners from the ministry of local government to sort out the issues but in vain.
Jaffari revealed to www.mknewwslink.com that the mayor and himself refused to take their advice on ground that they do not trust them (commissioners) since municipal authorities have been petitioning them without getting a response.
However, there are unconfirmed reports that councilors will sit again today to see if they can open the offices
Our reporter who visited the headquarters found the staff that had come to work seated outside in sun and coldness since they could not access their offices
The municipal offices were closed on Friday 29th Feb.2020 afternoon by civil society, district and municipal leaders following the town clerkâ€™s failure to account for ugx 194million received from tax revenue
