Tax Scam
KAMPALA — When the tax money was being paid to Uganda Revenue Authority, the cheque should have borne URA as the payee. But instead, the cheque by which Apac chief administrative officer Faust Olwitingol paid district taxes to URA, bore the names Moses Emesu, a URA official, as payee. Appearing before the parliamentary local government accounts committee yesterday, Olwitingol admitted endorsing the cheque.
Man Charged
KAMPALA — An Internal Security Organisation (ISO) operative has been committed to the High Court to answer robbery charges. Yusuf Kabalebe, attached to ISO headquarters, is alleged to have robbed Robert Mutumba of a vehicle. Prosecution led by Baxter Bakibinga informed Buganda road court grade one magistrate Martin Mungao that the Directorate of Public Prosecution had sufficient evidence.
No Change
KAMPALA — There is no rehabilitation programme in Uganda prisons and prisoners leave when they are worse than when they entered, the commissioner general of Prisons, Joseph Etima, has said. Etima told the parliamentary committee on legal and parliamentary affairs that there was no room for rehabilitation programmes in prisons. He also said they were understaffed. Etima appeared with internal affairs state minister Sarah Kiyingi.
Ntare Centre
