Officials from the Office of the President have ordered the arrest of Iddi Mugenyi, former Sub County Chief for Kicucura Sub County, for allegedly misusing 15 million shillings meant for the construction of the sub county headquarters.
Commissioner Dr. Tweheyo James announced the order for Mugenyi’s arrest during a meeting with Kagadi district stakeholders at Kagadi community hall on Tuesday.
The arrest came after Kicucura Sub County LC3 Chairperson Gregory Mujungu reported that Mugenyi had stolen the funds and was shielded by the chief administrative officer- CAO, who transferred him to work at the district headquarters.
Dr. Tweheyo directed the resident district commissioner- RDC to arrest Mugenyi and recover the lost money.
The commissioner also visited various project sites in the district, including a 2.5 billion shilling project at St. Jude Burora SS, and warned civil servants and contractors against stealing government funds.
RDC Lillian Ruteraho promised to implement the directive and condemned members of the public who aid in shielding thieves of government funds.
