IGG halts NUSAF funding to 20 groups in Abim district after inquiry

The Inspectorate of Government halted funding to 20 of 59 Northern Uganda Social Action Fund groups in Abim district after an inquiry found unclear membership records and bank signatories who were not members, according to The Independent. The IGG directed Abim RDC Samuel Mpimbaza Hashaka to have the groups' accounts blocked until further notice; Hashaka said on Wednesday he had received the report and would act on it.
