KAMPALA UGANDA: 07 JULY 2026- The Anti-Corruption Court has further remanded seven senior officials of Parliament of Uganda until 27th July, 2026, as the State completes investigations and prepares committal proceedings.
The officials arrested last week by the Inspector General of Government (IGG) are facing charges filed by the same institution, including embezzlement, causing financial loss to the government, and money laundering.
Court presided over by Grade One Magistrate, Esther Asiimwe, declined to entertain bail applications because some of the officials are facing money laundering charges, offences that fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
The officials include; Mr. Chris Obore, Director Communications, Mr. Adilo Daniel, Director Human Resource, Mr. Okema Leonard, Executive Secretary, Office of Speaker, and Mr. Rajab Kaaya Ssemalulu, Principal Research Officer.
