The Wakiso Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Luke Lokuda has sent all town clerks and senior Assistant Secretaries on forced leave.

In a circular addressed to all town clerks and senior Assistant Secretaries, Lokuda observes that most of them have taken several years without going on annual, which he says is a disciplinary issue.

He says the accounting officers will be away for 36 working days with immediate effect until they recover all funds given out for Youth Livelihood Program (YLP).

According to records, Wakiso district was among the first beneficiaries of the Youth Livelihood Program (YLP) and received Shillings 1.5 billion in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 Financial Years, which was allocated to 152 youth groups.

However, statistics from the district show that only Shillings 110 million has been recovered since 2015 which Lokuda partly blames it to accounting officers who have neglected the duty to recover the monies.
