Former Rubaga Division Deputy Resident City Commissioner Anderson Burora has been arrested and is currently detained at Kira Division Police Station. He was picked at midnight from his home.
Burora was in mid-March suspended from office for alleged continued violation of the Uganda Public Service standing orders 2021. He had openly confronted the Speaker of Parliament, Annet Anita Among following reports about suspected cases of abuse of public resources at Parliament.
He recently formed a National Resistance Movement (NRM) group to fight corruption.
Burora lost his job as RCC after he was accused of using his social media accounts to criticize Anita Among the speaker of Parliament over alleged mismanagement of the 11th parliament.
He has resisted attempts by the RDC secretariat to silence his views against corruption at Parliament and other public bodies.
He has turned his guns to the Inspectorate of Government accusing the incumbent of failing to execute her mandate. He says the IGG, Beti Kamya should immediately resign for failure to fight corruption even when she is fully facilitated by the government.
Recently Burora handed in his resignation letter to his bosses and said that he was not ready to take on any NRM job whatsoever siting the increased rate of corruption among party members.
“I resigned and I told them that I am not going back to work, even if I get paid, I will take back that money. I don’t want to be like the IGG who is paid and facilitated with everything but the best she can give is to lament,” Burora stated.
