The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has asked the Namisindwa Chief Administrative Officer to take action against health workers accused of absconding from duty at Bunambale Health Centre III.


The call comes after officials at the Inspectorate of Government made an impromptu visit to Bunambale Health Centre Health Centre III in Tsekululu Sub County, Namisindwa District and no medical worker to attend to the patients.

Dina Nabirye the IGG Tororo regional head in a meeting with Sub County chiefs and other District leaders in Namisindwa District said that action must be taken against civil servants absconding from work. According to Nabirye, absconding from duty is another form of corruption since public officials are paid for no work done.

Jackson Wakweika the Namisindwa LCV Chairperson blames the LCIII Chairpersons and other political leaders for failing in their supervisory role leading to the intervention of the IGG. 

Stephen Masayi Wasukila the acting Namisindwa District Health Officer says they have issued numerous warnings to health workers against absconding from duty stations in vain.
