Public Procurement and disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA)report of Oct.2019 on Bushenyi Ishaka municipal council exposes endemic corruption at the municipality whereby over 300 million was lost in procurement bills.

According to the report, Bushenyi -Ishaka municipal Procurement officer Roberto Nuwagira gave out a contract of collection of revenue from Matooke market in Ishaka to Eunice Bahati a girl friend to the LCIII chairman Deus Mukyenga.

The report added that this is evidence that the procurement officer Roberto Nuwagira awards tenders to himself and other staff at Bushenyi ishaka municipality.

Research done by www.mknewslink.com revealed that Eunice Bahati does not have a capacity to run a contract worth 9.6 million because she is an ordinary woman who cannot run a business of even 1million.

When contacted by www.mknewslink.com the Bushenyi Ishaka municipal mayor Jackson Kamugasha who is the political head of the municipal council noted that he has not yet seen PPDA report referred to.

He added that he will look for it, read it and then take action.

He hailed Western Ankole Civil Society Forum led by Apollo Lee Kakonge and other residents for spearheading against corruption within the municipality.

“You know we speak through you the media, civil society and residents,”|Kamugasha told our editor on phone.
