The State House Anti-Corruption Unit has arrested Mubende District officials over neglect of duty leading to loss of taxpayers’ money.
The District Health Officer, Mr John Bosco Ssendikaddiwa, and District Engineer in charge of buildings, John Bosco Kamya, together with the head of engineers, are accused of neglecting the construction of a maternity ward at Kibaliinga Health Centre III.
The charges read that the neglect of duty resulted in shoddy work of which the roofing was not complete and the beds in the ward were left to rust, causing a risk to patients.
Mothers in the ward showed disappointment to the government saying the facility is not conducive for them and their newly borne babies. Dr. George Ndagijimaana, the in-charge of Kibaliinga Health Centre III, admitted the state of the maternity ward has led to many women shunning the facility. END
