Alebtong leaders clash as district jobs shortlist disappears

Leaders in Alebtong District are trading counteraccusations following the alleged disappearance of list containing names of successful job applicants.

Last month, dozens of Ugandans reportedly applied to fill staffing gaps in Alebtong after the positions were advertised by the District Service Commission (DSC) in April 2024.

According to some district leaders, successful applicants had been identified through interviews, and their particulars were due to be entered into the government payroll system before the end of the FY2023/2024 on June 30.
