Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least Shs55 million, out of the stolen Shs300 million Parish Development Model (PDM) cash has been recovered in Amolatar District, authorities have said.<\/b><\/p>\n

The money was recovered from some parish chiefs and Savings and Credit Co-operatives Society (Sacco) leaders through a joint operation by security forces.<\/p>\n

Under PDM, Amolatar received shs9.1 billion in 2023 and the cash was meant to be shared among 85 Saccos in the district.<\/p>\n

About Shs300million was disbursed to 44 PDM Sacco groups (beneficiaries) in a bid to improve livelihood.<\/p>\n

But district leaders said \u201cthis money ended up in the pockets of Sacco) leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amolatar Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Francis Okello Odoki Rwotlonyo told that they have had challenges with implementation of PDM project after Shs300 million was embezzled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have recovered Shs55 million in a period of one week since Monday last week,\u201d Okello revealed.<\/p>\n

He vowed to recover all the missing cash, noting that the operation targeting suspects will also continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have over 30 people in our custody. Some of them are being produced in courts and they are going to be charged. I still have faith that we are going to recover 100% of the money that the government has lost in Amolatar,\u201d Okello remarked on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Amolatar District Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Paul Samuel Mbiwa disclosed that two parish chiefs and one Community Development Officer (CDO) \u201creturned the money they had illegally obtained.\u201d<\/p>\n

PDM is a government multi-sectoral program aimed at improving the livelihood of Ugandans, especially the 39 percent living a subsistence lifestyle by upgrading them from a subsistence economy to commercial production.<\/p>\n

President Museveni launched PDM in February 2022.<\/p>\n

But since then, several reports indicate that many civil servants and Sacco leaders have mismanaged PDM funds.<\/p>\n

In August 2023, four people including a CDO were arrested in connection with the alleged misuse of Shs36.6million disbursed to Aputi Sub-County.<\/p>\n

However, dozens of other suspects in the case escaped arrest using a ferry- via Lake Kyoga.<\/p>\n
