Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Pallisa Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr Magidu Dhikusoka, has given a one-month ultimatum to members of the District Service Commission (DSC), civil servants and politicians to refund the money allegedly obtained from job applicants.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Dhikusoka, his office received 17 complaints from applicants who paid between Shs1 million and Shs20 million in promise for jobs last year when the district advertised for different positions, including teachers and health workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a practice of selling jobs whenever the district is conducting recruitment for more than 15 years. This time those implicated must refund the money obtained by January 30, or else they will face the law. They should voluntarily return the money to the complainants,\u201d he said at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Mr Dhikusoka said so far, Shs14 million has been returned to the complainants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big racket involving high profile officers. This has necessitated me to write and invite the CID to take over investigations of this matter of high end corruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Dhikusoka said corruption through selling jobs in Pallisa has turned into a chronic disease and is affecting service delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people go to the villages misleading the applicants to pay money before they can be offered jobs and as you are aware, the applicants turn to selling their land and other valuables to raise the money, hoping to get these jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Daniel Gatakali, a resident of Butebo Sub-county in Butebo District, who had applied for a job as a teacher, was among the victims who had paid Shs2.5million for the job but was never shortlisted. He finally got back his money after the intervention of the RDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy I have got back my Shs2 million I had paid. I will use it to start an income generating project as I continue to search for a job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The district chairperson, Mr Patrick Duchu, acknowledged the challenge of corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a matter that is under investigation and those involved should show cause as to why disciplinary action shouldn\u2019t be taken against them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
