GARANG  ENGINEER

Andrew Ndawula, a Switch Plant Engineer with MTN, who was allegedly kidnapped in August 2005 in what many claimed could have been linked to him hearing private conversations before the late South Sudanese Vice President John Garang’s plane crushed has resurfaced.

Ndawula was kidnapped five days after that fateful crash and his whereabouts remained unknown. Garang, a former rebel leader who is a key figure in the country’s fledgling peace deal, died when the helicopter he was traveling in crashed into a southern Sudan mountain range due to bad weather,

Ndawula on Friday wedded his girlfriend Deborah Nankwanga Kawaala at the Redeemed of the Life Evangelistic Church in Makerere and later hosted his visitors for a reception in a heavily guarded Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo at the Flag mast gardens.

Police spokesperson Emilian Kayima said they were shocked to hear Ndawula had stealthily resurfaced and was now even wedding without informing them about where he has been.

“The file is definitely still open and we will summon him and ask him to tell us where he has been. A case disappearance was reported to police shortly after he went missing and we stretched our investigations beyond the borders."

"There were allegations that he was murdered and I believe the company that had contracted him to work even paid compensation to the family and just in case we find out that this money was actually paid and the family has not reported his coming back, we will arrest him,” Kayima said.
