The Member of Parliament for Bunyangabu County, Davis Kamukama, has accused the District LC5 Chairperson, Ategeka James Mugarama, of stalling the district’s development through acts of corruption.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Kamukama alleges that despite his and Woman MP Peace Mutuuzo’s efforts to lobby for infrastructure and other development projects, the funds often get mismanaged once they reach the district chairman’s office.
Kamukama further claims that Chairman Mugarama demands bribes from engineers in exchange for awarding them road construction contracts.
These allegations come amid growing dissatisfaction among residents of Kabonero Sub-county.
Led by their district councillor, Musiime Charles, residents have been threatening to stage a protest over the poor quality of marram used on the Kibiito–Kabonero road.
The community accuses district officials of misappropriating over UGX 100 million allocated for the road works.
