Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A recent report by the Inspectorate of Government (IG) has brought to light significant gaps in the Bugweri District Service Commission (DSC), uncovering alarming trends of corruption and mismanagement.<\/b><\/p>\n

The investigation that has been ongoing for the past six month, delved into the recruitment practices and resource allocation within the commission.<\/p>\n

Mr Fredrick Oketch from the Ombudsman\u2019s Jinja Office expressed concern over the recruitment process, highlighting instances of nepotism and incompetence.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at the staff of Bugweri and you wonder whether these were genuine people who passed interviews; even some civil servants do not know their job description,\u2019\u2019 Mr Oketch said while emphasising the detrimental impact of corruption on service delivery in the district.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the report revealed discrepancies in the appointment of acting positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that even the Secretary of the DSC is also in acting capacity, not substantive, and surprisingly, all this is happening in the presence of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO),\u2019\u2019 Mr Oketch said.<\/p>\n

He called for transparency and adherence to recruitment protocols to ensure a competent workforce.<\/p>\n

Mr Gerald Gwaira, the manager for advocacy and capacity building at the office of the IGG, condemned the irregular payment of interdicted civil servants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is corruption of the highest order because the law is clear that any public official on interdiction is entitled to half pay,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Gwaira also raised concerns about salary discrepancies in the education department, questioning \u201cWho is getting their salaries?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Resident District Commissioner, Ms Billy Janat Mulindwa, criticized the DSC for neglecting its duties and accused them of extorting money from job seekers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost all civil servants in the district come late for work and leave early. I think they come late after spending more hours doing other businesses or trying to recover the money they paid to get jobs,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

The district chairperson, Mr Shafiq Muziransa, highlighted the correlation between acting positions and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more civil servants in acting capacity, the more corruption is in the district.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pledged to address corruption following the IGG\u2019s findings.\u2019<\/p>\n

Mr Batwawula Musasizi, the secretary of Bugweri DSC, denied allegations of malpractice and affirmed adherence to legal procedures in recruitment.<\/p>\n

The deputy CAO, Mr Emmanuel Nbonye, acknowledged challenges faced by Bugweri District and called for guidance from the Ministry of Public Service.<\/p>\n

Locals, such as Ms Mutesi Nabirye, voiced grievances about the alleged sale of jobs in the district, highlighting the absence of meritocracy in the recruitment process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll jobs in Bugweri District are sold. There is no merit because even those who score highly during interviews are denied jobs because they are unable to bribe the DSC,\u2019\u2019 she said<\/p>\n
