What would you do if you knew that illegal re-budgeting was taking place?
BACKGROUND
According
to investigations and revelations from some district officials and
anti-corruption activists, the district technical officials have taken
their corruptions tendencies high by swindling public funds through
budgetary process.
This
they do by re-budgeting already implementing activities in the
districts plans and financial budgets. For example in Soroti
municipality, the municipal technocrats allegedly swindled over 100
million shillings meant for construction of 2 km-meter Aliabu road and
decided to re-budget for the construction of the same road in this
financial year 2012/2013.
Almost
a similar scenario happened in Amuria district where technical
officers, have repeatedly re-budgeted for the activities already
implemented.
Actually,
the technocrats are taking advantage of the fact that councilors do not
follow up on the activities implemented on the previous financial
years.
So
the question now is; how can the people involve themselves in ensuring
that planned activities are implemented in the right time.
