A group of Rukungiri concerned Anti-corruption community has petitioned the Speaker of Parliament Hon Rebecca Kadaga to investigate their area Resident District Commissioner ‘RDC’ Daniel Kaguta and Kick him out of office after being convicted by the anti-corruption court due to endless scams.
The group claims that RDC Kaguta was previously convicted of criminal activities after being prosecuted by IGG which shows that he is unfit to hold any public office and represent the fountain of Honour President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in any capacity.
The petitioners argue that Mr. Kaguta should not be holding any public office now because he hasn’t served a 10 year sentence.
The Petition to Speaker Kadaga
“We the concerned anti-corruption Rukungiri community wish to petition you with regards to the above President’s representative in our district Mr Daniel Kaguta whom we consider unfit to represent our beloved president known to be at the forefront of fighting corruption.
We are aware that the President is a fountain of honour and correspondingly his representatives in districts should be persons of integrity or of unblemished character.
However, our own Mr Kaguta having been charged by IGG under the anti-corruption act, prosecuted by the office of IGG before the anti-corruption court, convicted and sentenced by judge Margret Tibulya of the high court and court having ordered each accused persons not to hold office for a period of 10 years from the date of convictions.
Madam Speaker, we expected the office of IGG after the conviction and sentence of Mr Daniel Kaguta to communicate to the appointing authority to relieve him of his duty for the above reasons.
Daniel Kaguta has not since learnt his conviction, that corruption is cancer eating our society that requires to be fought by all people of goodwill but instead he is the biggest promoter of corruption in our district, for example, he was involved in the theft of Covid-19 donations ‘posho’, illegally involved in selling, transporting, extracting timber from Imaramagambo forest and to state the least bribery is his every day’s activity.
We further suspect that murders, robberies committed using guns in the district could be linked to him.
We have resorted to petitioning your office because any attempt to investigate all above misdeeds of our RDC is and has always been frustrated by his office or his ‘Godfathers’.The purpose of this petition is to kindly to request you cause an investigation and or liaise with relevant Government institutions and for reasons above mentioned to dismiss and or retire in public interest Mr. Daniel Kaguta
