The former Gulu Deputy Resident City Commissioner, Francis Rwotlonyo is yet to return an official government vehicle he has been using, close to two weeks after being dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni dropped Rwotlonyo in the latest reshuffle of Resident District commissioners, Resident City commissioners and their deputies last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was replaced with Peter Banya, the former Jinja Deputy Resident City Commissioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rwotlonyo was expected to hand over his office and all government assets to the District Internal Officers-DISO by March 31. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Sources in the RCC’s office, who didn\u2019t want to be named in order to freely speak, said Rwotloyo didn\u2019t heed the directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe left the office Key with the Secretary and hasn\u2019t officially handed over his vehicle to us. The new Deputy was here over the weekend but he (Rwotlonyo) wasn\u2019t there,\u201d One of the sources told URN in an interview on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that Rwotlonyo also skipped the official handover of office to the new Resident City Commissioner last week for unclear reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source said Rwotlonyo has until Monday next week to return the vehicle, a Mitsubishi double cabin pick-up, and hand over his office formally to either the DISO or his successor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banya confirmed to URN in an interview that no handover took place despite reaching the ground to take over the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banya says he has spoken with Rwotlonyo on the matter, adding that he is willing to return the vehicle after the burial of former Speaker of Parliament, Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah on Friday this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had a chat and he told me that he is not resisting returning the vehicle. He said he wanted to stay with the vehicle until he buries Oulanyah in Omoro because he doesn\u2019t have means of transport,\u201d said Banya.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rwotlonyo didn\u2019t deny holding on to the vehicle when contacted by our reporter.\u00a0He, however, claimed that he was still repairing it before officially returning it to the DISO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I received the vehicle, it had no tires and many others things were not there. So I had fixed a lot of things. I told the new Deputy RCC that I will hand over the vehicle when it\u2019s properly fixed and I believe by Friday, the work would have been completed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the matter has been publicized in the interests of those fighting him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
