Sh50m saved from ghosts
MUKONO - Officials have intercepted cheques for sh50m meant to pay ‘ghost teachers’ in the district. Education officer Edward Kalanzi Ssewanyana said this at the annual general meeting of Mukono and Kayunga teachers co-operative society at the Colline Hotel Mukono over the weekend. “The names on the cheques were not of teachers appointed by the district service commission,†he said.
S4s protest over fake list
MASAKA - The Police were on Thursday deployed at BK Memorial Secondary School in Kyazanga, after 27 Senior Four candidates rioted and threatened to burn the school. They called for the headmaster’s head after they discovered that their names were not on the Uganda National Examination Board list. The riot lasted hours, delaying the biology theory paper.
