Bukedea chairman, land board chairperson clash over 2026 race
This has separated the two parties.
Bukedea: The LC3 Chairperson of Kamutur Sub County in Bukedea district, Jackson Ojekede has found himself embroiled in a heated dispute with the sub county land board chairperson, Paul Outa, concerning the upcoming 2026 race.
The clash erupted after one Outa expressed interest in contesting for the subcounty chairperson seat in 2026.
This has separated the two parties.
According to Mr. Ojekede, his executive committee has sat down and drafted a letter to the chief administrative officer, Bukedea, through the sub-county chief asking the accused land board chairperson, Mr. Outa, to step down from the position of being the sub-county land board chairperson.
“I’m the one who appointed Mr. Outa together with my executive committee to be the chairperson of the land board, and I have a mandate to re-appoint another person,” said Mr. Ojekede.
Mr. Ojekede also added that, as the subcounty chairperson, his office has a mandate to supervise all the subcounty activities.
“I have the right to look at all the subcounty activities, so as subcounty head, jointly with my executive committee, we have outlined the reasons why we were asking Outa to step down from that office,” added Mr. Ojekede.
In the budget layout on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, the subcounty council roared against the subcounty chairperson, asking to explain why the chairperson of the land board committee was asked to resign from his office.
However, Paul Outa, the accused land board chairperson, says he’s not willing to step down from his position until the subcounty council gives written reasons for his resignation.
“For me, I am set to contest in 2026 for the subcounty chairperson seat; I am not afraid of all that’s being said,” said Mr. Outa.
