Kotido Municipality employees have been accused for absconding from duty and reporting late at work.

The accusation was made by Loboke Henry -the chairperson Kotido district Public Accounts Committee (PAC) during an impromptu meeting at the municipality headquarters last week.

According to Loboke, municipality workers have developed a tendency of reporting for work at 8:30 AM to only register in the registry and by 10 AM, they would have checked out with only about 4 staff visible at the premises while some are cited in bars instead of being in their offices.

Loboke says such acts have continually frustrated the locals who seek help from the municipality and also affecting the district’s position in the local government assessment performance report.

He has tasked Kotido municipality town clerk to devise stringent measures to keep track of his staff and also punish those responsible for such laxity.
