IGG Orders Kisoro District Officials to Refund Shs 14M in Embezzled Funds.

 The Inspectorate of Government has directed 17 out of 20 Kisoro District Production Department officers implicated in the embezzlement of UGX 14,053,825 from the Agricultural Extension Fund to refund the money.

Earlier this month, the Inspector General of Government (IGG) instructed Kisoro District Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) John Nyakahuma to take disciplinary action after investigations revealed that the officers had falsely accounted for funds meant for agricultural extension activities in Quarter One of the 2023/2024 financial year.

The directive, issued by Deputy Inspector General of Government (DIGG) Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, followed findings by the IG Kabale Regional Office which established that the officials forged documents and submitted false accountabilities to claim refunds.

The accused officers include:

Augustine Baryaruha, Assistant Fisheries Officer (UGX 768,150)
