BUSTED: Mbale City Clerk Exposed For Filling His Greedy Belly With Corruption through under assessments Mbale City loses over 300m.
The mbale city clerk together with the mbale city officials are cited in the under assessment of building and construction fees in order to get kick backs.
Since 2021 mbale city has been the worst city in the collection of revenues and each and every person has been asking as to why, the service delivery in mbale city is worse than never before, the staffs at the city council works on panic and pressure because they have to ensure that their boss eats well.
Corruption in mbale city is at its peak, extortion of money from job seekers is the order of the day, embezzlement and misuse of government funds is now a culture for example during the assessment of some of ware house in sino industrial park it was supposed to pay 300m but they had to pay 110m and the city boss’s received 80m as kick and the city lost 190m.
Opposite the Uganda central bank in mbale the city approved a plan to build there a petrol station and a supermarket at the former gateway offices and they were to pay 48m but instead paid 12m to mbale city and the boss took 20m. But how can a petrol station be built near a central bank?. After the information linking they immediately framed a puppeted story and stole their own computers in City clerk’s office to hide the evidence and upto date the security guards at the city have never done their statements and even the police have not done any investigation.
Mbale central market has been collecting 2m per month but when the state house decided to regulate the tax collection and the market set up they managed to collect over 100m in a months time.
The revenues in mbale city are well collected but shared among the few people.
Last month the health inspectors of mbale city extorted money from Mbale parents clinic and also illegally arrested staffs there and the city clerk instructed a fine of 3m and 500k was picked in the Counter of the hospital yet all payments are supposed to be paid on the bank account of the city.
Numerous approaches have been made to the ministry of local government to take their corrupt staff out of the city but nothing have been done, infact he always praises himself that he not touchable and no one can influence a transfer because he is a friend to the appointing authority.
But who will stop the demand of the wanaichi very soon they will close mbale city council offices just like Gen Z because this city is for them and more investigations should be done
