Jinja — THE Inspector General of Government, Justice Faith Mwondha, has directed Jinja District authorities to terminate the services of a member of the district land board, accusing him of engaging in unethical activities.
The IGG accuses Mr David Pande of being involved in the fraudulent sale of people's land. The accused who is also a private land Surveyor, is accused of under surveying his clients' land and later using his office and position on the land board to sell it off.
In a letter dated August 7, 2007, the IGG revealed that Mr Pande had used the land board to sell part of his client's land on Plot 15 Naranbhai Road in Jinja town.
The plot belongs to Ms Faith Sande who had gone to Mr Pande to enlist his services as a surveyor before he curved off part of her land and named it Plot. No.3 before selling it to Mr Jalala Juma Kaziba, a businessman in Jinja town.
Efforts to get a comment from the Chief Administrative Officer, Mr Peter Iporotum Okiror, about the development proved futile. The development comes in the wake of a recent failure by the district to reconstitute another statutory body, the District Service Commission.
Council meetings held on August 31 rejected the nomination of Maj. Gen. Sam Nanyumba, Mr Samuel Lwawayo, Mrs. Janet Kyemba, Hajat Rahil Namusisi Kirunda on grounds that some of them had a questionable character.
