LC1 Chairpersons storm Alimugonza Primary school over accountability for school property, poor performance

LC1 Chairpersons of villages neighboring Alimugonza primary school in Pakanyi Sub County, Masindi district yesterday stormed the school demanding accountability for the school’s property.

The chairpersons of Alimugonza Central, Alimugonza 1, Pabidi, Tantara among other villages in the school’s catchment stormed the school demanding explanation from the school management on   the whereabouts of over 100 pieces of iron sheets that were removed from the classroom block that was deroofed by wind in July this year.

The school recently received over 100 iron sheets from the office of the prime minister that were used to replace the blown off roof for  P4 and P5 classrooms.

The chairpersons who had spoken to www.mknewslink.com news website  on grounds of anonymity earlier, also   wanted the school management to explain the whereabouts of over 700 pieces of timber that were cut from the school’s trees and those that were given to the school by Kyakamese Central parish to roof the same classroom block.

They claimed that the roofing did not take all the timber.

The chairpersons also wanted the school head teacher Byaruhanga Wilson to explain the persistent poor performance by the school and yet it has teachers who are paid by the government.

However, when the chairpersons accompanied by some opinion leaders from the area stormed the school, they later went for a closed door meeting that was chaired by the sub county vice chairperson, Alice Katusiime and attended by the head teacher and the sub chairperson Pakanyi Frank Asiimwe among other leaders.

None of the people who attended the meeting was willing to talk to the journalists after it and it was hard for them to know what transpired.
