KYENJOJO: Kyenjojo LCV Chairman, Hon. Gilbert Rubeihayo, is facing serious allegations of fraud for allegedly influencing the recruitment of unqualified individuals, including his political supporters, into the civil service.
A letter from the Inspectorate of Government, addressed to the Chief Administrative Officer of Kyenjojo, has called for the removal of 45 unqualified Parish Chiefs from the payroll. These individuals are also expected to face a disciplinary committee.
The Inspectorate has further instructed the District Police Commander to ensure that the unqualified Parish Chiefs are prosecuted for presenting false documents to secure their positions in the civil service.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the District Chairman, along with certain influential councilors, compiled a list of unqualified candidates and pressured the District Service Commission to appoint them.
In an interview with our publication, the Chairman admitted that he and some council members indeed made a list for the District Service Commission, recommending individuals for various job positions.
The Parish Chiefs in question include Lucy Kugonza of Mbale Town Council, Janeta Kemigisa of Nyanbirongo, Aliganyira Basemera of Bugaaki Sub-County, Richard Bwango of Katooke Town Council, Charles Businge of Kisojo, and Eveline Komuhimbo.
Julian Ayesiga, the Resident District Commissioner, confirmed the existence of the IGG’s letter and emphasized that the law will take its course.
