Fort Portal city clerk John Bosco Rusoke is on spot for mishandling COVID 19 relief money that came from the office of the prime minister.

Baziri Bataringaya, MP Kashari North who is the chairperson of the western PAC told www.mknewslink.com reporter that among all the Municipalities they had visited, Fort Portal’s list of beneficiaries who were submitted by chairpersons to town clerk were changed the clerk composed his own list.

He directed the deputy town clerk Mr. John Bosco Rusoke to formulate detailed information on how the COVID 19 relief money was used and how many beneficiaries received the money.

William Museveni, MP Buwekula south who is also a member of PAC noted that the city town clerk didn’t involve any stakeholder in the COVID 19 relief exercise with yet to be discovered intentions.
