In Masindi

Cosmas Byaruhanga the Masindi LCV chairperson and his members of the executive yesterday boycotted the handover function of the Chief administrative officer John Nyakahuma.

The function took place on Thursday evening at the district gardens amidst tight security.

Speaking to Byaruhanga, he explained that he could not attend the handover function organized by a section of district officials who have their own interests instead of the district.

A week back, the district chairman issued a letter indicating that the handover would take only 30 minutes and it would be in chambers but not in an open place as there were no funds to organize a big function.

Byaruhanga also said that they never received any formal invitation from the organizers of the function.

Byaruhanga expressed happiness over Nyakahuma’s departure adding that sanity is going to come back since the person who has been antagonizing service delivery has left.

Since Nyakahuma came to Masindi in 2018 there has been a serious fight between the two accusing each other of incompetence.

In September, Masindi district council recommended for John Nyakahuma’s transfer and the closure of his office which the district chairperson implemented.

Speaking during the handover function at the district headquarters, John Nyakahuma the outgoing CAO noted that the one year he spent in Masindi was a tough time for him.

He explained that when the district council unlawfully closed his office, he lost his laptop and voucher accountability forms he had compiled to give to the auditors.

Danson Yiga Mukasa, the incoming CAO called for team work during his tenure saying that fights impact negatively to the local people since service delivery is crippled.

 Nyakahuma has been replaced with Yiga in Gomba district.
