Deputy IGG, Ms. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, cracks down on corruption as she orders the dismissal of 25 Parish Chiefs in Kyenjojo District.
The Inspectorate of Government has ordered the dismissal of 25 Parish Chiefs in Kyenjojo District after investigations revealed they had uttered forged diploma certificates to gain employment.
The Deputy Inspector General of Government, Ms. Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, signed the order directing the Chief Administrative Officer of Kyenjojo District to cause the District Service Commission to dismiss the affected officers and delete them from the payroll.

This move is aimed at ensuring integrity and transparency in public service, and it serves as a warning to those who may attempt to deceive their way into public office.
The affected officers include Thomas Kato Kyaligonza, Florence Nyakahuma, Saul Baganyire, Peter Nuwahereza, Constance Orikiriza, Mark Kato, Acleo Bagenda Kiiza, Amos Baguma, Richard Mwangushya, Wilfred Amanyire, Charles Kusemererwa, James Tusime, and Alice Komuhimbo.
