Former Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) have raised concerns over the delayed settlement of their terminal benefits, appealing to President Museveni for assistance. These RDCs allege that they were promised a package upon the conclusion of their tenure, yet they remain unpaid years later. Many of them resorted to taking bank loans with the expectation of repaying them using their monthly salaries. However, before they could clear their debts, they were unexpectedly relieved of their duties, leaving them in a precarious financial situation.
This outcry sheds light on the challenges faced by former RDCs who find themselves in financial distress due to the non-fulfillment of promises made to them by the government. Their plea for assistance underscores the need for timely and transparent disbursement of benefits owed to public servants.
However, critics have expressed little sympathy for the plight of these former RDCs, citing instances of alleged abuse of power and arrogance during their tenure. Some argue that these individuals acted as if they were above the law, displaying behavior unbecoming of public officials. As a result, there is skepticism regarding the sincerity of their appeals for assistance.
Despite differing opinions on the matter, the fundamental issue remains unresolved: former RDCs are grappling with financial hardships resulting from unpaid benefits promised to them by the government. The outcome of their plea to President Museveni will determine the extent of support available to these individuals who once served in positions of authority.
