The Uganda watchdog group has told William Makune he must fire Fredrick Womakuyu fast. Makune is the top manager of Bugweri district, and Womakuyu works there, handling natural resources. People reported that he faked his school papers. Anne Twinomugisha from the inspection office wrote about this on April 7, 2025. Her team checked everything and found the claims seemed true.
Twinomugisha wants local police to start a real criminal case against Womakuyu right away. They need to look into how he may have changed his papers to seem more educated than he really is. The rules say someone in his job needs a science degree in trees, land care, or similar subjects. They must also have extra school training in management. The job calls for nine years working in the field, with three years at a high level.
Womakuyu claimed he had worked at wildlife protection and environmental offices before. When asked, both places said they had never heard of him. His papers did not match what he claimed about his past jobs. The inspection team found big problems with most of his statements about himself. They looked at his whole background and saw many false statements.
Twinomugisha has warned all hiring teams across Uganda to be more careful. She asked them to check deeply into anyone they plan to hire. They should call old bosses and schools to make sure the papers are real. This helps stop people without proper training from taking important jobs. The case shows how some try to cheat their way into good-paying government work.
The district must act fast to remove him from his position. The letter makes clear he never should have had the job at all. His case might lead to criminal charges beyond just losing his work. The inspection team wants to send a strong message to others who might try the same tricks. They hope careful checking will keep government jobs for those who truly earned their degrees.
