The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has reportedly arrested Ntare School headteacher Saul Rwampororo, his predecessor Jimmy Turyagyenda and former school typist Peace Kebirungi over an alleged financial loss of sh110.9m and abuse of office.
Kebirungi is also accused of using a forged university admission letter to secure study leave with pay before absconding from duty, while continuing to receive a government salary from September 2015 to August 2024.
The three were reportedly detained at the IGG offices in Mbarara before being transferred to Kampala for further proceedings.
Photographs circulating on social media show the suspects during the proceedings, with one individual being escorted into a vehicle with the suspect’s head covered.
The arrests have drawn attention to Ntare School, a prestigious boys’ secondary school located in Mbarara District.
