THE Parliamentary local governments accounts committee yesterday issued a one-month ultimatum to Kitgum chief administrative officer, Livingstone Ocen, to account for over sh268m, reports James Odong.
The committee issued the deadline following Auditor General, John Muwanga’s queries raised during the financial year ending June 30th 1999.
“We are giving you one month to locate the missing receipts and other required documents,” the chairman, Charles Bakkabulundi (workers) said.
According to the report, Kitgum district administration diverted sh6.2m from primary teachers’ account to fund other activities without seeking prior authorisation from the secretary to the treasury.
