Ntungamo: The Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Ntungamo Cadre Mucunguzi Geoffrey, has refuted summons allegations that circulated on social media platforms on Thursday this week.
Mucunguzi urged the general public to disregard all social media posts, making false and baseless claims and stressing that he is committed to fighting corruption, criminality, and injustice at the Ntungamo Chief Magistrates Court, which has turned into a beehive of thieves.
The post shares, “Ntungamo RDC faces jail over theft and housebreaking.”
He noted that accusations are very tendentious, false, slanderous, and baseless and are only intended to demoralize his commitment to fight against impunity at the Ntungamo court since it has ceased completely in various departments in the district.
Addressing the journalists on Friday, Cadre Mucunguzi stressed that the bickering with the judiciary started when he reported rot among some judicial officers who were cooperating with court bailiffs to extort money from less privileged citizens before the deputy chief justice Richard Buteera in February 2023 during the Ntungamo district open court day.
He revealed that since his arrival in the district, cattle theft has been stopped; henceforth, ghost workers and health centers have been cleaned; district payroll has been cleaned; unscrupulous money lenders have stopped taking people’s properties; and recently, the resident state attorney has started releasing cattle thieves but is now on interdiction.
Cadre Mucunguzi affirmed the general public to be calm, saying that these are the kicks of a dying horse for those who are culpable, and he will not be obliged to appear before court on January 9, 2024.
