OMORO: Most of the leaders in Omoro district are having sleepless night these days as far as poor performance of the PDM disbursement is taking the PDM secretariat and the government of Uganda by surprise due to intended laziness by the sub- county chiefs and more especially among most of the district leadership of Omoro which is really confirmed to be lagging behind in the whole country.
Jovrine Kalisa Kyomukama the deputy National PDM coordinator has caused panic in Omoro district on Thursday last week in a hot meeting that lasted from 5:00 PM until 10:00 in the night chaired by Kalisa.
Kalisa who talked in a tone of a taught mother castigated at the Omoro district leaders for sleeping on their jobs by delaying the disbursement process of the funds to the people of Omoro district.
She began the meeting by making a roll call of all the town agents and parish chiefs, sub- county by sub-county where there was a lot of lame excuse about the whereabout of several technical staff who were absent in the meeting.
The district to the former district speaker of parliament the late (RIP)Jacob Oulanya L’Okri is lagging behind at only 16 percent in PDM disbursement in the whole country.
“The district like Apac has disbursed to 100 percent, Hullo, why can’t you disburse?stop sleeping in government offices and be paid for nothing,and you are paid for free”warned Kalisa.
Ladies and gentlemen,this is hopelessness,you are playing around with government programs.
Do not know why you have not disbursed the PDM money up to now?.
You will find that even the Paris chief are not coming to work everyday and they are not from Omoro”Wondered Jovrine.
She added that including the chairperson LCV ,the RDC ,the district commercial officer and the parish chief are so reluctant .
She accused Omoro leaders for being lazy and reluctant about PDM and is the chief reason for the delay of the PDM Disbursement.
She noted that creating stupid and funny excuses must stop.
However the RDC Omoro district ,Onyuk Andrew has confirmed that when he held a meeting recently on the 6th October,2023 before the independence celebrations,the disbursement was as low as 13 percent.
Douglas Peter Okello Okao said as politicians they have mobilised for the PDM where by even the locals are aware about PDM programs but the loophole is on the side of the technical staff in the district who are very slow in the disbursement which is now below standard compa
However Kalisa promised to make follow up in person on Friday this week to see the level of disbursement in Omoro
Deputy CAO of Kole district was arrested on the order of Kalisa.
According to Kalisa,H.E the president of the Republic of Uganda,launched this fund on the 26, February,2022 pother disrict are at 100 percent.
One of the local from Lalogi Town council, Omoro district who spoke to this publication on condition of anonymity, said Kalisa should arrest more than ten people in Omoro district in regards to abuse of office and suspecter conspiracy to make the local suffer.
A man only identified as Okello from Acet sub-county,Omoro district said some technical staff should be arrested and terminated quickly by Kalisa for not being incharge of PDM funds including those appointed and elected into some offices.
By press time this publication has learnt that most of the technical staff are very worried that Kalisa may come back with a full Drone -taxi to download them to prison as the issue of PDM Disbursement is getting out of hand.
