Lamwo, Uganda – Councilors in Lamwo District are up in arms over non-payment after missing a committee meeting that was canceled due to the absence of district technical staff.
James Ocen, the Deputy Speaker of Lamwo District, has expressed concern over the delayed payments, which have exacerbated frustrations among councilors already grappling with unexplained deductions in their honoraria allowances.
The canceled meeting and delayed payments are the latest in a series of administrative and financial inefficiencies plaguing the district.
Councilors argue that the lack of transparency and accountability has hindered their ability to fulfill their responsibilities.
In response, the district administration has acknowledged the concerns and pledged to address the payment delays and improve financial management.
However, councilors remain skeptical, demanding immediate action and a commitment to better governance.
This ongoing situation underscores the urgent need for improved oversight and streamlined administrative processes in Lamwo District to ensure fair compensation and accountability for public officials.
