The Anti Corruption Unit, together with the police, have arrested the Ntoroko district Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Anslem Kyaligonza, for irregularly recruiting and appointing over 500 civil servants in excess of the staff ceiling and wage bill without the approval of the District and Public Service Commissions.
Kyaligonza is alleged to have personally ‘headhunted’ several people for recruitment, issued them appointment letters bearing forged minutes of the District Service Commission, and irregularly added them to the payroll.
According to the Anti Corruption Unit, some of the irregularly recruited staff were also paid salaries beyond the scales indicated in their forged appointments.
The unit says that the actions of the CAO resulted in overstaffing in the different departments in Ntoroko and a salary shortfall, causing some staff to not being paid for six months.
