“Thanks for your best advices .We promise to respect them and you won’t see more shortfalls in future reports,” he said.
He explained that the district has now hired a lawyer and will be consulting the Public Service Commission before taking any personnel decisions.
The vice chairman t of parliamentary commission on social welfare, Alphonsine Mukarugema requested mayor Mbonyumuvunyi to avoid any mistake leading them to be summoned for similar mistake.
“Such malpractices have to stop .You have to know that an employee dismissed through legal procedures has to leave. Let’s respect the law,” she said.
