He said that the district head of Sauwa was known for consistently not following orders, while that of Guluma was only mildly not following orders and his pay will be stopped for six months.
“For the District Head of Guluma, Alhaji Muhammad Bashar-Guluma, the commission thought over and accepted a smaller punishment of six months off work and no pay for six months for not following orders as the committee found him guilty,
