NEWS- The Mitooma district council has requested the office of IGG to initiate forensic investigation into the district engineering department for improper usage of one billion shillings Road fund.
This is after the department failed to provide a substantial accountability to the council.
In a special district council held at Mitooma Town council hall on Friday convened by the district speaker Moses Tumwekwatse, the department presented a half-baked report without detailed breakdown.
The council also noticed some extravagancy expenditure on allowances in regard to what the funds were meant for.
According to Bim Douglas the chairperson Mitooma District works committee, they had requested for accountability from the engineering department but all in vain.
Bim stressed that they only gave account of 804 million shillings of the one billion shillings mandated for each district under road fund from the Central government.

It’s from this point that the district speaker Moses Tumwekwatse ruled that they will engage the office of the Inspector General of Government to investigate the matter.
Tumwekwatse narrated that the accountability given being less by 200 million of the total funds, it was unearthed involving unnecessary and extravagant expenditures.
He pointed out that they will not sit in offices to see tax payers’ money being put to waste at the expense of equitable service delivery.

The Mitooma District boss Benon Karyeija aka Boneza, noted that the political wing played their role attributing the current mess to the technical team who remained reluctant on the next move.
The district boss added that once investigations are done, the culprits will face the tough arm of the law in regard to embezzlement and causing government financial loss.
