A new service commission for Omoro district has been sworn in for a five-year term in office to oversee recruitment, appointments and promotion of staff.

The four-member commission chaired by Dick Denis Owani were sworn in by Bonny Akol, the Omoro Grade One Magistrate during a ceremony held at the Chief Administrative Officer’s Boardroom yesterday.

Other members of the commission are Margaret Orik Obonyo, Esther Ajok Ojwiya and Dr. Richard Acaye (a member representing Persons living with disabilities).

Magistrate Akol calls upon the members to showcase equality and honesty while serving the people of Omoro district.

The commission takes over from the previous one whose term of office expired in September last year.

Jackline Cherop, the Omoro District Communication officer says a fifth member of the commission will be added at a later date after the one nominated was rejected by the Public Service Commission.

She says that this is the third service commission serving the district since it was curved out of Gulu district in 2016.
