Incompetent Head Teacher Kicked Out After FOWODE Intervention

By -


In Kinnuka Sub County in Lyantonde district, a head teacher of Kinuuka Primary School was fired after 10 years of incompetence. The head teacher for a long time failed to hand in accountabilities for the funds sent to the school. According to the Lyantonde District Education Officer, Medard Byarugaba, this head teacher also disgraced the noble teaching profession as he had several intimate relations with female teachers at the school. The intervention of the Village Budget Club officers in Kinuuka Sub County brought the case to the attention to the D.E.O who apprehended the head teacher after several petitions from parents and teachers had not yielded results.

‘FOWODE has made my work easy. I don’t need to employ informers. I know the FOWODE team is at work in the schools.’ said the Lyantonde, D.E.O, Medard Byarugaba. Two teachers have been replaced in the same school and handed over 10 warning letters to those that have been reported absent for classes. 

FOWODE is committed to continue empowering the community members to monitor government facilities for proper service delivery in all the fifteen districts of operation.

Not even light. Yet it was late in the night,” Kemigisha, a young midwife in Kabale District, told the Saturday Monitor. “This woman was brought to the health centre by a group of six young men, who had each carried her in turns on their shoulders.”In her attempt to help th...
