Nurse sacked,administrator demoted

THE Tarime District Council has sacked a nursing officer named Nega Jackson and demoted the head of the council’s human resource department, Jeveryson Kaguna, for underperformance.


“The council has resolved to demote Kaguna as head of the human resource department and sack Jackson as nursing officer,” the District Executive Director, Elias Ntiruhungwa, told reporters after a short meeting of the council yesterday. Before reaching yesterday’s decisions, Ntiruhungwa said he formed a team to probe the performance of the two officials.

“The full council meeting received a report of the probe team and made the decisions to improve quality services delivery,” he said. Tarime Town Council chairman, Hamis Nyansu, presided over the meeting, which was also attended by the Tarime Urban Member of Parliament, Esther Matiko.

A few weeks ago, Ntiruhungwa held a meeting with the council workers and repeatedly urged them to support efforts being made by the Fifth Phase Government in delivering better services to the people.

He also reminded the workers to observe, at all times, integrity and professionalism when performing their duties.
