Those affected from the district include Chief Finance Officer Benon Rutungana, District Education Officer Emmanuel Mwumvaneza, District Engineer James Karamira, District Production Officer Richard Habomugisha and District Communication Officer Imelda Mukeshimana.
Others are District Agricultural Officer Harriet Mutuzo, District Inspector of Schools Emmanuel Mbonyebyombi, Principal Internal Auditor Gabriel Sebusogi Nkuriye, Principal Human Resource Officer Beatrice Komushana and District Veterinary Officer Dr Herbert Ngabo, who also serves as the Parish Development Model (PDM) focal person.
The list further includes Senior Human Resource Officer Patient Allan, Senior Procurement Officer Margaret Nyiratunga, Senior Assistant Secretary and Secretary to the District Land Board Anita Ninsiima, and sub-county chiefs Gerald Ngabirano and Coretta Amanya.

He added that arrangements had been made to identify replacements to ensure that service delivery is not disrupted during the investigations.
The interdictions are intended to allow the relevant authorities to investigate the allegations without interference from the affected officials.
The officials’ interdiction does not, in itself, establish their culpability, as the investigations are expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged misconduct.
