Embattled Jinja Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Eric Sakwa has been interdicted from office after he was charged with manslaughter last month.

In a letter from Kakanda Yunus, Secretary in the Office of the President dated May 4, Sakwa was ordered to stop exercising his duties as the RDC of Jinja with immediate effect.

Besides leaving office, he was told to also handover any government property that was in his possession to the Jinja District Internal Security Officer (DISO).
