CID Kibuli: Kibuli CID detectives on Wednesday morning intercepted, and recovered Shs.600m from a house of a government official.
The money recovered is part of the shs.3bn taken as commission from a printing deal between the Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC) and the Electoral Commission in the previous 2021-2026 general elections where UPPC was legally contracted to gazette the 2021-2026 roadmap and the successfully elected political leaders across the board.
“This money, in our hands now was destined for another accomplice in crime. It is part of the 3billion loot that had passed through an account of a fictitious commission agent,” Charles Twine the spokesperson of the Criminal Investigations Department said on Wednesday without wanting to divulge into more details since investigations were still on going.
Two suspects were also arrested to help police in investigations, though sources didn’t want to reveal their particulars for, they would jeopardize investigations.
Spy Uganda has since last week been running series of stories about this huge corruption scandal allegedly involving UPPC MD Prof.Tom Wasswa Davis.
It is alleged that Professor Tom Wasswa, the head of UPPC who was arrested recently and granted a police bond is due to be re-arrested and be arraigned before court, being one of the alleged masterminds of the Shs.3 billion scandal.
Last week, TheSpy Uganda exclusively broke the story of how the Managing Director Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC) professor Tom Wasswa Davis allegedly siphoned over Ugx 3billion corporation money, which he stealthily passed on unto himself as a commission to himself, for having ‘brokered’ a shs 9billion printing deal from electoral commission to the corporation, to gazette for them (EC) the 2021-2026 electoral roadmap and the successfully elected political leaders from the 2021-2026 general elections.
We also told you of how the Proxy ‘Commission Agent’ whose account he used to withdraw the shs 3billion from the corporation account purportedly going to pay him, ended up getting a paltry shs3 million as his cut from the deal, there by the professor taking the lion’s share. More painful is the fact that poor lad also had to share the shs 3million with his other ‘colleagues’ in the loot.
