The Inspectorate of Government-IG is probing the Kampala
District Land Board Secretary, Martha Komugisha for alleged corruption.
In an August 15th letter to Andrew Kitaka, the Acting
Executive Director, Kampala Capital City Authority, the Deputy Inspector
General of Government, Mariam Wangadya notes that the Inspectorate of
Government is in receipt of several complaints
where in it is alleged that Komugisha is corrupt and has exhibited unethical
conduct while executing her duties.
"It is specifically alleged that she holds
on clients' applications for land tittle transfers and lease demanding to first
be paid bribes before scheduling them for Board action” reads the letter in
part. She has asked Komugisha to
step aside as investigations are conducted.
"Considering the nature of her work and the sensitivity
of transactions handled by her office, and bearing in mind that she is the
custodian of the records and file of Kampala District Land Board, it is
imperative that she steps aside during our investigations" the letter
further reads.
Section 14 subsection 6 of the Inspectorate of Government Act
provides that the Inspector General of Government may during the course of his
or her duties or as a consequence of his or her findings make such orders and
give such directions as are necessary and appropriate in the circumstances.
Munira Ali, the Spokespersons of IG confirmed to URN the ongoing
investigations.
