The National Integrity Study by the Inspectorate of Government found that Uganda loses Shs10 trillion per year to corruption. These studies are corroborated by Afro barometer, which is a global survey which covers Africa.
The Uganda Bribery Index of 2020 discovered that 59.2% of respondents had encountered an experience of bribery. That’s six out of 10 Ugandans have experienced bribery.
This shows that instances of corruption in Uganda are very high.
Mr.BWANIKA KASENDWA IBRAHIM aka BULL a whistle blower approached a senior official at ISO an internal security organization in Uganda and informed him about a corrupt employee in the office of the president who had rooms filled with money in his house in Mutungo a Kampala suburb (names withheld).
The ISO boss summoned a one Enock Katwesigye to his private office in munyonyo along Gava road sensing that there was money to be made from the corrupt president’s office employee, just after that meeting at the ISO’s boss office, the duo decided to summon the president’s employee to the same ISO’s boss private office where katwesigye Enock presented himself as a UPDF colonel attached to ISO and was in charge of investigating the official.
When the official arrived they quickly negotiated an amount (bribe) in billions where they after drove straight to his residence in Mutungo to pick the money.
Now this is where everything turned to west when the whistle blower was sidelined but later got to know about the payment and threatened to report the whole saga to the statehouse Anti-corruption unit.
Katwesigye Enock quickly hatched a plan to shut up Bull (a whistle blower) by informing CMI that bull is in possession of guns and military uniforms at his residence. CMI arrested Bull and upon investigating and searching his house, he was found innocent and immediately released him on bond.
Now as his last resort, katwesigye Enock bribed officers at kabalagala police station to quickly arrest and slap charges of threatening violence and aggravated robbery on Bull, where he was rushed to Makindye Magistrate court where he was remanded to luzira.
Anti-corruption officials have picked tough interest in this matter and we shall keep you posted on our new finding in our next edition.
