Nabumali High School, one of the traditional schools that used to be an academic powerhouse in the country, is in turbulence over allegations of corruption.

According to police, the head teacher of the school, Mr Daniel Douglas Kaima, has been conniving with some staff members, including the school Bursar, Ms Jane Mutesi, to allegedly steal reams of paper.

It is reported that Mr Kaima and others contract shop keepers at Nabumali Town Council to resell the reams and deposit the money to a mobile money account in the name of a person only identified as Kibalatsi, Mr Kaima’s office messenger.

Mbale District Police Commander (DPC) Alice Kuka said they have opened a General Enquiry File (GEF) to investigate the matter.
Mr Simon Peter Mafabi, a resident in Nabumali, said corruption is failing efforts made by the old students to lift the school to higher academic levels.
