Jinja councillors demand headcount to tackle ghost students
Jinja District councilors have tasked the district leadership with conducting a headcount of all learners to identify and eliminate ghost students. The councillors allege that some unscrupulous civil servants have used ghost students to steal public money under the guise of supporting learners in public primary and secondary schools that offer universal education. However, District Chief Administrative Officer Lillian Nakamate informed the council that the ministry is aware of the problem and that the process for conducting the headcount is already underway.
