Last week, the head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Dr John Mitala said Mr Kagole knows how court orders are effected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t assume that we have delayed to have him redeployed.

Likewise, Mr Jim Mugunga the spokesperson of the Finance ministry that was instructed to carry out investigations against Mr Kagole referred this newspaper to Dr Mitala.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kagole was sent on forced leave by Dr Mitala on July 26, 2019 on the President \u2019s directive and he was replaced by Mr Pius Bigirimana.<\/p>\n<p>He was accused of financial impropriety involving Shs34b meant for Judiciary activities.<\/p>\n<p><b>awesaka@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
