Led by the Bubutu Town Council LC3 Chairperson, Mr. Moses Mudambo Wayila accused the town clerk of alleged corruption.
Mr. Mudambo blames the town clerk for commissioning the projects without notifying the town council political leadership.

Mr. Mudambo told Bugisu intellectual forum that there’s a big problem at the town council calling for investigations.
“The town clerk Locked the office from 7th/2/2022 up to now causing poor service delivery to the people of Bubutu Town council. The mayor accused the town clerk of conniving with other politicians to do everything,” he said.
