The Inspector General of Government (IGG) has ordered the Ministry of Education and Sports to complete the Dutch-funded project whose funds were allegedly misappropriated by some ministry officials in 2010.
In a February 25 letter to the ministry's permanent secretary, a copy of which Daily Monitor has seen, the deputy IGG, Ms Mariam Wangadya, said the ministry must create a budget to ensure the project is completed.
The deputy IGG said investigations established that the construction companies abandoned sites due to delays and unnecessary bureaucratic processes by the ministry to process payments.
Mr Patrick Muinda, the Education ministry spokesperson, referred this newspaper to Ms Rose Namaganda, a secretary at the permanent secretary's office.
We could not independently verify with the Education ministry or IGG whether the school was a beneficiary since they both declined to divulge details of the report about the fraud.
