An order by the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Ltd (UETCL) to demolish newly built staff quarters at a multimillion-dollar health facility in Nwoya District has created confusion among local leaders.
The quarters were constructed under a high-voltage power line, leading UETCL to seek their removal.
Mr Francis Ojok, the Kocgoma Sub-county chairperson, supported the demolition order, calling it a necessary action against what he termed a fraudulent project.
“The structure was established illegally to defraud the district’s resources,” Mr Ojok claimed.
He further explained that the health centre management committee had identified the construction site, but the district engineer moved the location without consulting key stakeholders, leading to the current issue.
