Kitgum District RDC Komakech Interdicted Over Shs 523 Million PDM Money.

Kitgum resident district commissioner (RDC) William Komakech has been interdicted over the reported abuse and misuse of funds meant for the implementation of the Parish Development Model (PDM) program.

Komakech was interdicted on August 27 by the minister in charge of the Presidency Milly Babalanda on the directives of the Inspectorate of Government. Babalanda says that the interdiction that takes immediate effect, bars Komakech from exercising the powers and functions of the RDCs office and is meant to allow smooth investigations to be undertaken by the Inspectorate of Government.

14 staff of Kitgum district local government were arrested last week by the PDM national secretariat over the alleged misuse of Shs 523.6 million meant for the implementation of the PDM program.

Komakech has also been ordered to hand over office to his deputy Hajji Marijjan Welire who shall perform all the duties of RDC until further notice. During his interdiction period, Komakech will continue receiving half of his basic salary and is barred from leaving the country except upon obtaining clearance from the secretary, Office of the President until the allegations lodged against him and the interdiction are dropped.

Babalanda also warned all RDCs, RCCs and their deputies to observe the roles and operational guidelines recently issued to them while executing their duties and urged them to avoid being misled by technical staff and politicians in their respective districts.

The guideline highlights allegations of connivance with public officers to embezzle public funds; altering of government policies to suit self-driven interests; and their participation in illegal mining activities; conniving with illegal timber dealers to destroy forests and aiding cattle rustlers; as some of the unfortunate concerns being raised against some RDCs/RCCs and deputies.

In part, the guidelines also stress that RDCs/RCCs and deputies are tasked to focus on critical interests of government including; massive mobilization of the population for enhanced household incomes especially promotion of the Parish Development Model; enforcing improved service delivery in all social service sectors and to fight corruption on all fronts.

Komakech’s interdiction comes barely a week after the interdiction of the Kitgum chief administrative officer Joel Musisi over the alleged misuse and abuse of the same said PDM funds. Over the weekend Kabale chief administration officer Edmund Ntimba was also arrested after he failed to explain the whereabouts of over Shs 230m PDM funds.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
