The Go Forward team is finding trouble moving ahead after staff started disappearing, some showing up to work as and when they feel like due to unpaid salaries.
According to sources in the team, workers in the Go Forward team have not received a salary for six months since October 2015. They demand shs1billon.
Sources quote the communications director, Josephine Mayanja Nkanji and the Chief of Staff, Solome Kibungwe, are some of the top employees who are no longer enthusiastic about showing up for work.
“Maggie Lukowe (communications assistant) only comes in for a press conference here and there but she now fully sits at her personal office,” the source said. “Mayanja Nkangi no longer comes and Solome is also doing her own things. They hardly come around.”
On some days, former Prime Minister, Amama Mbabazi goes to his office on 12th floor Crested Towers and sits there alone, sometimes with a few office staff like the receptionist and his personal assistant.
It is believed that Mr Mbabazi’s financial inflow was disrupted by government during presidential campaigns. Highly placed sources say the former premier’s accounts were frozen and he is therefore finding it hard to run his activities even after the campaigns.
Eagle Online could not readily get a comment from Go Forward as known phone numbers of the spokesperson, Josephine Mayanja Nkanji, couldn’t be reached.
That aside, Mr Mbabazi is continuing with discussions with his counterparts under their umbrella TDA Go Forward Uganda umbrella, to discuss the best way forward in the next five years.
