KITAGWENDA DISTRICT PROCUREMENT OFFICER RETAINS OFFICE ON MUTUAL CONSENT.
Following mediations between the Kitagwenda district chief administrative officer, Richard Ssebandeke and the senior procurement officer, Helen Tumuhimbise Hannah, the latter has withdrawn the case.
On July 13th, 2023, Tumuhimbise dragged the district and the CAO to the high in court in Fort Portal after she was asked to hand over office to her immediate junior procurement officer and go for further training in the managing procurement and disposal function in local governments.
However yesterday during the high court session, the solicitor general Johnson Kafuuzi advised the conflicting parties to settle matter outside court through mediations.
According to the agreement letter accessed by Rwenzori FM, signed by both parties before the resident judge Fort portal high court, Vincent Emmy Mugabo, Tumuhimbise has withdrawn the case from court. The Chief administrative officer Richard Ssebandeke also consented that Helen Tumuhimbise retain his position.
