Allegations are that in 2012, during his tenure as acting CEO, the accused misappropriated US$17 500 from the Council’s Capital Development Fund (CDF) to purchase a house for himself as part of his benefits, in violation of council regulations.
According to the Rural District Councils Act, the CDF is specifically meant for financing capital development projects and the replacement of council assets.
