The
Police Criminal Investigations Director Grace Akullo has taken control of
investigations on a procurement scandal involving top officials in the Central
Bank, URN reports.
Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga said Akullo has been assigned to ensure that
the investigation is thoroughly conducted to leave no stone unturned. He did
not divulge details on the scandal but hinted that several workers within the
Bank of Uganda and the Customs department at Entebbe International Airport have
already been interrogated.
There are reports that the issue involves the printing of money, which was
coming into the country. Uganda prints its money from Germany. Reports indicate
that some of the officials at the Central Bank wanted to flee part of the money
that was coming into the country. URN could neither verify this claim nor the
amount involved.
The Bank of Uganda Governor Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile indicated in a
statement issued on Friday that the investigation was dictated by an anomaly in
the inventory identified during the verification of a consignment that was
received in April.
Mutebile made no mention of the persons involved in the scandal but added that
the matter had been referred to the Anti-Corruption Unit for investigations.
According to another statement signed by Lt Col Edith Nakalema, the head of The
State House Anti-Corruption Unit, several officials had already been detained
by Friday. This morning Police told journalists that it has up to six people in
custody over the scandal.
Those who have been interrogated include the Director Banking, Director Legal
services and Auditors.
Well whatever the changes into investigation there will be no change, the lady at state house tried & failed in fact all these people are “birds of same feather they flock together Corruption is the Power.“It is tough to control Mutebille & his Mafia gang & lot at Dfcu.The only person who can do is Kaguta:cease their assets recover the Trillion Dollars.god bless Uganda.✝️✝️✝️
