Waititu also accused the governor William Kabogo led government of allegedly favoring some areas in terms of development.
Waititu a critic of Kabogo’s administration has vowed to send him packing in next year’s polls. The two leaders are not seeing each other eye to eye and have been embroiled in public spats.
