Uganda: Mbarara to Warn Mayor

By Felix Basiime, 14 November 2008

Kampala — MBARARA municipal council on Wednesday changed its earlier decision to take disciplinary action against the mayor.

The Inspector General of Government (IGG) had directed the council to warn the mayor, Wilson Tumwine, over breach of the Leadership Code.

However, the council defied the directive, saying they were not complainants in the matter.

The IGG received a complaint last year that Tumwine entered a contract to rent his premises to Kakoba division, an area in the municipality he heads.
