Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uthuman Mubarak Mugisha, the newly elected Chairman of Hoima District, has revealed that he has been facing threats from anonymous individuals urging him to cease his supervision of certain government projects.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mugisha\u2019s claim has raised concerns over possible irregularities in the implementation of these projects, prompting him to call upon the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and the Office of the Auditor General to conduct a thorough audit.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Hoima District Council in his first official session since taking office, Mugisha however said he is determined to ensure that all government funds allocated for projects in the region are used transparently and effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been several irregularities, especially in terms of funds designated for government projects,\u201d Mugisha stated, emphasizing the need for accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to inherit problems. I want to leave a legacy of good governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mugisha\u2019s call for an audit on government funds sent to Hoima comes as a response to his commitment to transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

He stressed the importance of ensuring that taxpayers\u2019 money is put to proper use, echoing a sentiment of good governance.<\/p>\n

However, during the same council session, Mugisha faced opposition in his attempt to appoint key members of his executive team.<\/p>\n

His choice for Vice Chairman, John Kwemala, was rejected due to allegations of instigating a physical altercation during a previous council meeting, where he was accused of assaulting former Vice Chairman Chiche Benson.<\/p>\n

Additionally, James Mulindambula, a Councilor for Kigorobya, faced rejection as the Secretary for Production.<\/p>\n

His past actions came under scrutiny, as he was accused of having lost a district motorcycle during his tenure as a Social Service Chairman in 2017.<\/p>\n

It was also revealed that he had allegedly arranged for the hire of road equipment to a private individual in a neighboring district, Kiryandongo, without the council\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n

These developments have set the stage for a challenging and eventful tenure for Mugisha as he seeks to bring transparency and accountability to Hoima District.<\/p>\n

Officials from the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and the Office of the Auditor General are expected to begin their investigations soon, shedding light on the management of government funds and projects in the region.<\/p>\n
