“Ssekidde is currently on remand on charges of defrauding James Karanja, a Kenyan businessman, of $301,000 (sh1b). Karanja, a director of Kenyan company Sidali Limited, was lured into a fictitious procurement deal for hoes and mosquito nets, purportedly under the special presidential projects. In this scheme, the suspect continued to pose as Maj. Gen. Kiwanuka, operating under the Office of the President,” Col Magezi said.

Magezi named some of the suspects as Godfrey Lubowa Ssekidde, Sgt Dominic Idro, Zacharius Mitumba, Don Miles Mugerwa, Charles Abwot, Levin Kawooya, Rogers Ssentongo, Geoffrey Kalele and Lt Fred Ssali. (Credit: Mpalanyi Ssentongo)
