The Deputy Resident City Commissioner for Soroti City East Division, Claire Ayipo, has called on residents to expose corruption and the misuse of government programs intended to improve the livelihoods of ordinary citizens.
 
Ayipo made the call during a Baraza held at Moruapersur, where residents engaged local leaders on accountability, service delivery and challenges affecting the community.

 

She urged residents to report individuals suspected of misusing funds or resources under government initiatives such as the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga and restocking programs.

 

Ayipo said residents have a responsibility to speak out whenever government resources are diverted from their intended purpose, urging them to forward credible complaints to the relevant authorities for scrutiny and investigation.

 

“Residents should not remain silent when they see government programs being misused,” Ayipo said, emphasizing the importance of community participation in monitoring public programs.

 

The Baraza also highlighted infrastructure challenges in the area. Ayipo asked the city engineer to consider improving the road leading to the Moruapersur market, noting that accessing the market was difficult when she visited the area.

 

Residents also raised concerns about service delivery at Moruapersur Health Centre III, including allegations that some health workers report late for duty. Ayipo called on local leaders to closely monitor attendance and ensure that health workers report to work on time.

 

Another concern raised was the slow electronic registration of patients at the health facility, particularly when network connectivity is poor. Residents said the delays can affect the timely delivery of medical services.

 

In response, Ayipo advised health workers to manually record patients in urgent situations whenever network challenges prevent immediate electronic registration. She said the information can subsequently be entered into the computer system once connectivity improves.

 

The Baraza provided an opportunity for residents to raise concerns directly with local authorities, with Ayipo calling for continued cooperation between communities and leaders to strengthen accountability and improve service delivery.
