The Inspectorate of Government (IGG) has mandated 26 officials from the Production Department of Bundibugyo District Local Government to refund a total of Shs70.2 million within a strict timeframe of 14 days. This directive stems from allegations of mismanagement of funds allocated during the financial year 2017/2018 for various activities under the district’s Production Extension Grant (PEG).
