The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU), led by Brig.Gen.Henry Isoke, has once again intensified its crackdown on corruption in government agencies and departments. In a joint operation with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), two suspects were arraigned before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court on Friday afternoon.

The suspects, identified as Kasenge Martin, alias Tumusiime Denis, a businessman, and Kaweesa Ronald, a painter, have been charged with electronic fraud, obtaining money by false pretenses, and conspiracy to commit a felony. They now join a list of previously charged individuals, including Balondemu David, the Kampala District Land Board Chairperson, Mkwe Eric, and Ibona Joseph, among others, who were implicated in the same fraudulent scheme.

Investigations reveal that between November 2022 and April 2023, the accused orchestrated a scam targeting an American company, KG Unlimited LLC. The suspects falsely claimed that they were in a position to secure a lucrative government contract for the procurement and supply of a water plant on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries. This elaborate deception resulted in the fraudulent acquisition of UGX 2.2 billion from the unsuspecting investors.

Authorities further disclosed that the illicitly acquired funds were received by Kaweesa Ronald through M/s Bloom Advocates, who acted on behalf of the fraudsters. Following their arraignment, the court has remanded the accused until February 26, 2025.

The State House Anti-Corruption Unit remains steadfast in its mission to eradicate corruption and hold accountable those who exploit investors and the public through fraudulent schemes. This latest action underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to fighting financial crime and restoring integrity within Uganda’s institutions.
