he committee setup by the president to investigate the misuse of Universal Primary and Secondary Education has quizzed the Kabarole district engineer, Stephen Wakatama for presiding over shoddy classroom construction works.
The committee wanted to know whether the engineer has ever advised the district to have an operation and maintenance plan and budget to cater for repairs of school buildings which are in bad condition.
The engineer informed the committee that he had never advised as required and expected and accepted the responsibility.
The committee has discovered that classrooms recently constructed were at the verge of falling down because of shoddy works by constructors aided by the engineers who approve the works.
However, the engineer blamed the mess on inadequate staff in the engineering department to supervise all the construction works within the district.
