The Kasese district Chairperson, Mr. Erifaz Muhindi has threatened to deal with the district senior planner, Mr. Joseph Isingoma for reportedly tainting his name and mismanaging National Population and Housing Census funds.
In an interview with Kasese Guide Radio last evening, Mr. Muhindi who said he had tasked the senior planner to present to him a comprehensive report about the recent national census exercise, concurred with our reporter that he had heard reports that Mr. Isingoma illegally deducted monies from the enumerators under the context of bringing it to the district chairman, the Kasese RDC and the district Chief Administrative Officer. Mr. Muhindi speaking1…..

Mr. Muhindi said other than the enumerators whose allowances had allegedly not been paid over Mr. Isingoma’s excuses that are yet to be verified, some sub-county leaderships were complaining of facilitation deductions and failure by the senior planner to deliver items that had been funded for national census exercise. Mr. Muhindi speaking2……
Earlier yesterday, Mr. Elias Byamungu, the Kasese District chief administrative officer confirmed having received reports of the alleged mismanagement of the national Census funds by Mr. Isingoma and that he was to give an official statement after crosschecking figures with Uganda Bureau of Statistics headquarters in Kampala.
When called for a response last evening, Mr. Isingoma promised to call back our reporter after the meeting he claimed he was attending to date. Issues to be investigated include the expenditure of the alleged three hundred seventy four Million shillings for food, eighteen Million shillings for electricity extension cables and ghost training centers he reportedly created in the district among others.
