KABALE: The Kabale District Council has unanimously endorsed a recommendation by the Finance, Planning, Administration, and Works Standing Committee to remove Celiina Kagimba from the District Service Commission citing forgery of documents.
Presenting the recommendations at the District Hall in Kabale Municipality on Tuesday, committee chairperson Richard Mporera explained that the decision was based on evidence of forgery in Kagimba’s curriculum vitae (CV) and other relevant documents.
Mporera highlighted that Kagimba’s recommendation letter, supposedly dated 12th February 2024, was found to be dated 3rd February 2015 with a recently appended stamp. Furthermore, Kagimba’s CV claimed she retired as a teacher at Kyanamira Primary School on 4th April 2024, despite indicating she worked there only between 2001 and 2003.
Additionally, her CV stated she processed her terminal benefits with the Rubanda District Service Commission on 26th May 2022, after transferring her service from Kabale. However, the committee found that the information about her service was incomplete and that the few available documents were forged.
Following the council session, Kabale District Speaker Flavia Nyinakiiza Kanagizi announced that the District Chairman has been advised to nominate a new candidate for the commission, someone whose credentials can be easily verified by the council.

Kagimba’s name was initially sent to the committee for verification on 13th February 2024 after the council declined to approve her nomination to represent people with disabilities on the commission for the third time since 2023.
