Dear All, This is most unfortunate unfolding. It just beats my understanding how a very poor district, so much lacking in social services, with deplorable livelihood of the residents could ever return such funds unused to the treasury!
Can the West Nile Foundation seek explanation from the Authorities in Arua? Do we have CSOs in Arua with backbones strong enough to take on the leadership and ask for accountability on this matter? I think this is a serious issue that needs intervention. I strongly suggest that we obtain an explanation from the respective department heads and see if there is any way we can help to avoid this happening again. I don't think this is the first time we are returning funds to the central government.
