Corruption & Abuse of Office Single source Zombo 23 Mar 2026 Severity: 1/5

At a community meeting at Paidha Cultural Centre, Zombo RDC Festus Ayikobua directed the Town Agent for Dwonga Ward to record a statement at Paidha Central Police Station after residents accused her of manipulating Parish Development Model beneficiary lists and other irregularities. The town agent said some decisions followed guidelines on groups that had not repaid earlier funds; according to ChimpReports, a cross-check found one listed name missing from the NIRA database.
