Uganda’s foreign ministry has recalled some members of staff in its embassy in Denmark to pave way for investigations following a newspaper report of a plot to misappropriate public funds.
The Ugandan Daily Monitor newspaper highlighted a leaked audio recording of people discussing the plan. But there has been no official confirmation that the voices belong to embassy staff.
The foreign ministry, through Permanent Secretary Patrick Mugoya, has released a statement saying it will investigate the report.
“In the meantime, the officers implicated have been recalled to the ministry headquarters to pave way for investigations. Depending on the outcome of the investigation additional measures may be taken as appropriate,” he said.
