Local Government Minister Balaam Barugahara told the Daily Monitor that 110 local government staff cases were ongoing and more than 19 staff had been sent to the anti-corruption court following inspection tours he led with State Minister Justine Nameere in districts including Mbale, Namisindwa, Sembabule and Mitooma. The minister cited alleged ghost staff and pupils, misuse of funds and poorly executed projects. Opposition figures, including Shadow Auditor General Elias Luyimbazi Nalukoola, criticised the tours as bypassing constitutional anti-corruption institutions.
A national event, not tied to one district.
Official claim: These are the figures given by Minister for Local Government Balaam Barugahara; they could not be checked independently.
