The Inspectorate of Government says they have arrested Ms. Atim Mega, a senior Agricultural Engineer of Apac District Local Government for allegedly uttering a false document.
Atim recorded a statement on Monday May 25 at the IG Lira Regional Office. She will appear before court in Apac district on May 26, 2026.
According to investigations, in May 2024 Atim applied for the post of Senior Agricultural Engineer with Apac District Local Government. She was appointed.
“However, the appointment letter as Agricultural Engineer dated 3rd February, 2020, from Itek-Okille Farmers’ Cooperative Society which she submitted as part of her work experience and the basis upon which she was appointed, was disowned by the leadership of the Institution and declared a forgery as she has never worked with them,” the Inspectorate said in a statement on Monday.
Section 328, of the Penal Code Act CAP 128, states that: “Any person who knowingly and fraudulently utters a false document commits an offence of the same kind and is liable to the same punishment as if she had forged the thing in question”.
