Indians living and working in Uganda illegally have been urged to get official work permits before uganda revenue authority cracks down on them.

This call has been made by the resident district commissioner Iganga hajji Swaib Lubega Wagwa while addressing members of the indian community at the launch of the Hindu temple in Iganga town.

The RDC saysthere is no reason as to why indinas have to fear comming to legalise their stay and businesses with the relevant authorities.

Wagwa says many indians sneek into uganda and work illegally yet the country is now free and peaceful to accomodate any national who genuinely seeks to live and work in Uganda.

The RDC further explains that all RDC's offices across the country are always opebn to start processing work doccuments for foreign nationals who come with investments inthe country.

Forum for democratic change president Retired Colonel Dr Kizza Besigye has lashed out at government over what he called exhorbitant public expenditure on political appointees such as resident district commissioners.

Dr Besigye says the 2 million shillings given to RDC's as monthly salary is not in any way reflected in the work done by the RDC's themselves. The FDC presidnet made these remarks while addressing party supporters at the last leg of his south eastern region tour in Kamuli town.

Dr Besigye is demanding government to increase teachers salaries since the teachers do a tremendous work in this country yet government underlooks their efforts.

On why doctors allegedly steal drugs from government hospitals, the FDC president says the 570,000 shiilings monthly salary is not an equivalent of the work doctors do in public hospitals.

He saya unless government revises the current salary inequalities, civil servants will continue plunderfing public funds to meet the ever increasing cost of living in the country. ends
