Moroto RDC Benon Kwikiriza Advises Civil Servants to Uphold Professional Ethics

What the report says

At a District Integrity Promotion Forum held at the Moroto District Chamber Hall, Moroto Resident District Commissioner Benon Kwikiriza urged civil servants to uphold professional ethics and accountability in carrying out their duties. The meeting took place on 5 November 2026 and was organised by the Karamoja Anti-Corruption Coalition (KACC) in partnership with Transparency International Uganda.

According to Watchdog Uganda, Kwikiriza told public servants not to compromise their integrity for money, framing ethical conduct as essential to public service. The forum also served as a platform for local actors to raise service delivery concerns affecting Moroto District.

KACC Programme Officer Amina Lowakori presented issues across several sectors, including overcrowded learning conditions and teacher housing gaps at some primary schools, inadequate drug supplies at Moroto Regional Referral Hospital, and the lack of clean water at Kodonyo Health Centre. Other concerns included charcoal burning in Loputuk Sub-county and illegal rubbish dumping near Moroto Bus Terminal.

The report said officials from Transparency International Uganda encouraged better use of the government procurement portal, while Assistant RDC Awol Mark called for the concerns to be formally shared with relevant district departments for action. KACC head Dr Ayub Mukisa said the forum should be taken seriously so residents can receive the services they are entitled to.
