This week, five individuals, including senior government officials and Members of Parliament, will be summoned over their involvement in the sh147 billion war loss compensation scandal.
Security sources confirmed that summons for the five prime suspects are ready and will be served this week.
The suspects are being investigated by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and the Criminal Investigations Directorate for their role in the mismanagement of compensation funds intended for cooperatives.
“The files were ready by the end of last week. A few issues had to be verified by investigators to ensure that the case against the suspects is solid and permissible in court,” a source involved in the investigations said.
Most suspects summoned to the Criminal Investigations Directorate regarding the scandal have been arrested, detained, and brought to court within 48 hours.
The officials summoned this week are likely to face similar outcomes.
Last Friday, three MPs that is Michael Mawanda Maranga (Igara East), Ignatius Wamakuyu Mudimi (Elgon County), and Paul Akamba (Busiki County) were charged and remanded to jail over the multi-billion shilling cooperatives scandal.
