The appointment of five primary school head teachers in Amolatar district has come under scrutiny over allegations that they forged academic documents.

The accused include Jimmy Okello, the head teacher of Agwingiri Primary School, Caroline Atala of Aburkidi Primary School, Lawrence Okello of Aweiwot Primary School, and Richard Ogweng of Muntu Township Primary School.

Francis Okello Odoki Rwotlony, the Amolatar Resident District Commissioner says his office has discovered that some of them forged documents to indicate they served for several years as deputy head teacher to hoodwink the appointing committee that they have enough experience in leadership.

He says their actions undermine the professional standards intended to ensure competent leadership.

Rwotlonyo has accordingly directed the Chief Administrative Officer- CAO, to revoke their appointments.

He was addressing the media today -Thursday 5th March 2025 in his office in Amolatar.

Rwotlonyo blame the poor recent PLE performance in Amolatar district to these inadequate and unqualified head teachers.

He also criticized the District Human Resource Department for the oversight and failing to verify their documents prior to their appointments

Rwotlonyo, however, expressed hope for better UACE results despite the poor PLE performance

In a related development, Rwotlonyo has accused some churches operating in the district for sabotaging government programs.

He particularly pointed out churches like Journey to Heaven and Fist of Trumpet, who he accused of preaching doctrines that sabotage government programs, and warned that they risk closure.
