Kisoro District Council suspends District Service Commission over bribery and nepotism allegations

The Kisoro District Council suspended the District Service Commission, including its chairperson Erasmus Nshaka, pending investigations into alleged bribery, nepotism and irregular recruitment, Daily Monitor reports. A committee report presented to council alleged that more people were recruited than posts advertised and councillor Philip Ntacyotugira claimed job seekers paid Shs10-15 million; the speaker directed that the Inspectorate of Government be petitioned. The Chief Administrative Officer denied wrongdoing, and a lawyer said the commission would challenge the suspension in court.
