According to the letter, Byaruhanga also asked him to explain why he should continue being a chairperson for the district service commission, drawing salary for services not rendered within seven days, or why he should not be removed from office as per the law or perform his duties immediately.
Byaruhanga said that this leaves him with no option but to cause Byarugaba temporary removal from office by the suspension on the following grounds and in accordance with Section 54(4s) of the Local Government Act, Cap 242 as amended.
The district boss therefore suspended Byarugaba on grounds of misconduct, incompetence, failure to convene district service commission meetings since July 2023 without any lawful excuse, and failure to respect the court order.
Byaruhanga therefore gave 14 days to call for a meeting of the district service commission to discharge its duties as required by law, step aside, or be suspended or removed from office without further warning.
