This was during an engagement between the Inspectorate of Government and the Board and Management of the Uganda Cancer Institute at the IG Head Office on Wednesday.
According to a statement sent to this publication, the engagement was convened by the Deputy Inspector General of Government (DIGG), Anne Twinomugisha Muhairwe, to address a series of complaints of maladministration and administrative injustice at the Institute in order not to derail service delivery at UCI.

In conclusion, The complaints reported include: irregular recruitment and appointment of staff without following established processes and procedures; unjustified dismissal of staff; non-payment of suppliers; and the irregular acquisition of hotel services.
