It is alleged that despite being paid by LWB, Tadikira never reported for duties. It is also alleged that his name was also appearing on the payroll of Roads Authority”.

Tadikira is understood to have been employed by the Roads Authority.

Meanwhile, the mentioned parastatals are yet to comment on the allegations leveled against them.
