Apollo Kazungu, the Commissioner for Refugees in the Office of the Prime Minister, has been sacked.
Kazungu, who has been on the spot for mismanaging millions of shillings and food aid meant for refugees, was shown the exit on Wednesday and replaced in acting capacity by Simon Gerald Menhya, whose appointment was ordered by Minister for Disaster Preparedness Hillary Onek and his junior Musa Ecweru, as investigations continue.
Last month the OPM Permanent Secretary Christine Guwatudde Kintu ordered Kazungu’s interdiction and appointed Mr Joel Wanjala, the Undersecretary in-charge of finance and administration, as care taker.
At the time, Mr Kazungu was suspended alongside three other officials working with the Refugee Department.
By press time it was not clear whether Mr. Kazungu, a senior public servant, had been subjected to the due process as prescribed by law.
