Speaking to IGIHE, Gicumbi Council Chairperson, Dieudone Kayombya confirmed the move saying that the trio was dismissed today over falling short on delivery.
“It is true; they were dismissed during a general meeting of the district council that took place today. The council has the responsibilities to evaluate executive committee’s performance and when is satisfied with performance, it is okay. But, when the council is not contented we can advise them, request them to increase performance or suspend them,” he explained.
He said that the council examined different reports and discovered poor performance.
“Among the reports include the audit report about management of development projects and audit report about schools management. The reports revealed mismanagement; the problem is the way they are addressed. The Council established that there were no sustainable measures to address these mistakes and measures to implement recommendations from auditors,” Kayombya explained.
He said that the audit was conducted in this fiscal year, but also reflected past years.
The District Council has nominated, council member Jean Claude Sewase as interim mayor.
The dismissal of Gicumbi Executive Committee comes few days after the wave of resignation and dismissal of mayors and vice-mayors across different districts.
