Kampala: In our ongoing investigations into a UGX 3.7 multi-billion scandal involving a Germany investor, Nikolaj Roleder, the CEO of Roleder & Ebert GmbH and Kampala’s fraudulent lawyers, we have unearthed fresh information on how two lawyers were involved to fleece the investor on different intervals.

We can ably reveal that among the top beneficiaries of this heart-wrecking deal which doesn’t only taint the country’s image but also scares away investors is none other than city lawyer Tumuhimbise Johnson Njoki.

Lawyer Tumuhimbise Johnson Njoki

According to reliable sources, after the German investor with his colleagues were convinced by the mastermind of the deal Vicent Ssemboga to fly to Uganda for a meeting that would award them a contract, they were tasked to cough $412000 termed “2%” down payment fee as guarantee that the company had capacity to deliver as per the ‘contract’! In legal terms, and on the advice of the senior lawyer, Njoki, that such payment was nicknamed “security deposit” and was to be paid to ‘Government’ through a contracted ‘legal Agent’ known as Tumuhimbise Johnson Njoki under their Nsambya based law firm called Johnson Njoki & Co.Advocates,located on Tirupati Mall.

The Business Card Njoki Reportedly Shared With The Investor Before The Transaction

It is alleged that at that time, the chairman of the fake contract awards committee of the Ministry of Agriculture headed by a fraud master only known as Dr Fabio told the German investor that the only trusted person who would deliver the security cash deposit to the gov’t through the Ministry of Agriculture was Lawyer Johnson Njoki and without hesitation the investor cashed out money to the law firm, upon his recommendation as the ‘Chairman Contracts Committee!”.

“The contracts committee chairman Dr. Fabio recommended that lawyer to us to pay the security deposit of $412000 (approx. Shs 1.6 billion) so he could deliver the money to the Ministry of Agriculture to get the signed contract. We met him in his office where he gave us the invoice for the $412,000 which was deposited on his escrow account.” the investor told our Spy via WhatsApp call last week.

The Invoices Njoki Gave To The Investor To Make Payments

He added this; “After putting the money on the account of the advocate’s company, he stopped responding to our repeated calls when we wanted to remind him to deliver on his part as agreed, only to learn a few days later that it was a setup, pure fraud!

“Mr.Johnson told us that his law firm was working with the Ministry of Agriculture and was the go-between when it came to payments, and remember he was introduced to us by the so-called Contracts’ Committee Chairman known as Dr Fabio” he said.

Meanwhile, the investor has since called a swift action by the concerned government agencies or else the country risks being blacklisted on the international market as one of the unsafest African countries international multi-billion investors must avoid venturing into.

Second Lawyer Involved is Gen.Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s Close Buddy!

Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba Who Hates Corruption But His PLU Members Are Already Deeping Their Hands Even Before They Take Power. Hope You Know That His Other PLUbTeam Leader Hon.Micheal Mawanda Is Still In Luzira Over Corruption Too

Those close to Chief of Defence Forces Commander (CDF) Gen.Muhoozi Kainerugaba say he hates corruption to the marrow. In fact, he says, to those close to him that, his darling father, President Yoweri Museveni is partly suffering in his leadership because of corrupt people who hide behind his back, using his name by claiming they’re so close to the source of power and therefore very powerful. With this as hindsight, Muhoozi doesn’t want any corrupt members in his revolutionary ideas/party. But look how daring people can be. According to evidence under our armpits, a daring Counsel known as Jackie under her law firm Bloom Bag allegedly pocketed USD 45000 for opening a company for the investor as one of the conditions for him to get the alleged fake contract. Jackie, a member of PLU, who was the secretary General of Gen.Muhoozi’s MK project that later metamorphosed into PLU, together with her team told the investor that he couldn’t get the contract unless he opened a local company here, which the investor did and Jackie did the ‘fantastic’ job of opening Roleder & Ebert Limited for him and pocketed the above-mentioned money. 

By the time went to press, Njoki’s known telephone number was unavailable when we sought his comment.

Background Of This Fraud

In a police statement recorded at Kampala CPS in May 2024, Roleder says in 2023 via his company website, he was approached by a Ugandan in the names of Vicent Ssemboga who said the Ugandan Gov’t was looking for a competent company to supply it with the UREA fertilizers.

Nikolaj says he later received an invitation, purportedly from the Ugandan Gov’t and signed by the Minister of Presidency Hon Milly Babalanda, inviting him for a meeting to discuss further on the aforementioned deal.

”The invitation was for me and other shareholders. So myself and partners Nejad Davood, Moisiel Eduard and Reimer Rudolf travelled to Uganda and when we arrived at Entebbe International Airport, we were picked by Vicent Ssemboga and taken to a place where we met a group of four people who introduced themselves as Uganda Government Contracts Committee members,” narrates Nikolaj.

He further says that after that meeting, they were told they were to get the deal but only after registering a local company that would be contracted, something they also accepted.

”We accepted but because we didn’t know the procedures, Vicent got for us another female lawyer called Jackie of Bloom bag, who registered for us a company in the names of Roleder & Ebert Limited and we flew back to Germany. After this we were asked to pay a share capital of the company which was USD45,000, which we paid that female lawyer’s company bank accounts,” adds Nikolaj.

He says later after spending about $484,300, he realized it was a fake deal and everything Vicent and his colleagues were cooking was fraudulent and as a result of this, he rushed to report the case to Kampala Central Police Station which he says is yet to even arrest the shoes or vests of the suspects.
