Yet again! More missing salaries for civil service in Uganda
We’ll after report of not paying Arua districts civil-servants on 28th of May in the Daily Monitor. This is a thousand teachers without pay! They will get a new form to get their pay, but why? Shouldn’t it have come as naturally to them? (Aluma 2014) Then on NTV Uganda on 31th May Keith Muhakanzi – Permanent Secretary Finance Ministery said this: «If by the 18th the finance in case of local government, finance local government they have not responded, we shall pay, but the accounting officer will take responsibility for that payroll”. The report then went onto describing how the police force used payment of salaries for other activities! See the thing here:
Just to continue here with some older cases on the fun with pay in Uganda. I am sure that the civil servants and their families are not enjoying the play of the higher officers and how things are disappearing into thin air!
It keeps happening again and again, it must be more than just the accounting officer who has the issue. Then it must be the system or those fuelling the system? I have already in recent months reported on 15th May on ghost civil servants, then issues with the pay of June 2013 payments(Minbane, 15.05.2014). Wonder if Keith Muhkanzi: will hang the accounting officer this time? And what will he do next?
Even earlier on 12th May I reported yet again on the ghost money. So it must be pattern. Or am I wrong? (Minbane, 12.05.2014)
Well, recently reports from Ernest & Young has been hired to check the authenticity of 6000 workers and see who is getting reinstated salaries or government payroll of April(AllAfrica.com, 2014). This is supposed to kill of “ghosts”. Let see if those that! But, I am sure that it going to be more issues and stories of both “ghosts” and “lost” pay. Especially because of “new” “systems” and “malfunctions”, so congrats people and wish your local civil servants a good day! Because that is necessary – do them that favor! Peace.
