NAKALEMA AT IT AGAIN: THREE JINJA DISTRICT OFFICIALS ARRESTED
By www.mknewslink.com
In Jinja
The State House Anti-Corruption monitoring team led by Edith Nakalema has arrested three Jinja District officials on allegations of abuse of office.
The arrested include the Kakira Town Council Assistant Town Clerk, Davis Gulare, Peter Mulavu, the Town Council Auditor and Fred Kisige, the Bugembe Town Council Engineer.
The State House Presidential Private Media Assistant, Farouk Kirunda, said the trio, while still working in Bugembe Town Council, received money for implementation of government projects but all the work done was shoddy.
Kirunda, who cited work at Bugembe Abattoir and other construction works, said the suspects are to be arraigned before the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala to face corruption charges resulting into loss of government funds.
Since it was instituted by the President late last year, the State House Anti-Corruption Unit has arrested several local government officials in raids on Wakiso, Tororo, Mbarara and Arua district
Seventeen of the implicated public officials have since been charged with corruption and abuse of office and interdicted. They also include three Uganda Revenue Authority staff.
