In a letter signed by the Secretary- Office of the President, Hajji Yunus Kakande has suspended the Deputy Resident District Commissioner for Luuka, Mr. Waiswa Paul over gross misconduct.
“In view of the above (complaints of physical assault from Kisige), I hereby suspend you from duty as Deputy Resident District Commissioner Luuka with immediate effect,” reads part of the letter.
“You should also prepare a written defence in regard to the allegations as contained in Mr Kisige’s written complaint availed to you. You should therefore show cause why your case should not be forwarded to Reward and Sanction Committee of the office of the president for further disciplinary action against you,” Kakande said in the letter, calling his (Waiswa) defence to reach his office within a fortnight.
The criminal act which is now under police management, brings the public service into disrepute while in violation to section (F-r), of the Uganda service standing orders (2021).
