Former director of economic monitoring in the Internal Security Organization, Teddy Seezi Cheeye is dead.
It is believed that he was hit by a speeding Boba Boda and he died on spot.
This website understands that Kyeye was recently released from Luzira Prison where he served a sentence of 10years.
Cheeye was found guilty of stealing Global Fund money meant for HIV/AIDS.
Cheeye is also told to refund sh110m of the sh120m he got from the fund.
The High Court convicted Cheeye in April 2009 for embezzling the money and forging accountability for it.
The money came his way through his NGO, the Uganda Centre for Accountability, for purportedly monitoring AIDS activities in Rakai, Kabale, Mbarara and Ntungamo districts.
The money was deposited on the account to which Cheeye was sole signatory and he withdrew all of it in 19 days although he did not monitor any AIDS activities anywhere.
