In a shocking turn of events, the Amolatar district has been rocked by a financial scandal involving the National Resistance Movement (NRM) administrative secretary and other high-ranking officials.
According to insider reports, a staggering sum of 249.602 million NRM was withdrawn, out of which a staggering 191 million is alleged to have been swindled.
The case, documented under police reference number 42/20/01/2026 at the Amolatar Central Police Station, is being spearheaded by Akello Amina, the NRM finance secretary for the region.
Amina has accused Pule Bonniface, the administrative secretary for Amolatar—who also holds the position of Assistant Resident District Commissioner (RDC) in Pader District—of orchestrating the misappropriation of funds.
Of the 191 million reportedly misappropriated, 174 million was ostensibly allocated for boda boda with plans for each village to receive 300,000 NRM for this purpose.
However, it has come to light that this allocation never reached the intended beneficiaries, raising questions about the integrity of the officials involved.
Anonymous sources suggest that the funds were shared among local security operatives, including the District Internal Security Officer (DISO), the RDC, and members of the police force to shadow the all money use.
This corruption allegedly played a significant role in undermining the NRM’s political efforts, resulting in the downfall of all NRM flag bearers in Amolatar during recent elections for Members of Parliament (MPs) and the District Chairperson.
As the investigation unfolds, the implications of this financial scandal may extend far beyond the immediate parties involved, potentially shaking the foundations of trust within the NRM and its governance in the region.
The public and party members alike are left wondering how such a significant breach of trust could occur under the watch of trusted officials, and what measures will be taken to ensure accountability moving forward.
