The charges were preferred on the two officials this morning by the Grade One Magistrate of the Anti-Corruption Unit Court in at Kololo in Kampala by Mr Moses Nabendo.

According to the charge sheet, Kasajja Jamirlu Kairu and Erejo  Kamil Rajab and others still at large, during financial year 2017/2018, at Arua Municipal Council in Arua District, being employees in the Council as Town Clerk and Principal Treasurer respectively, abused the authority of their respective offices and carried out an arbitrary act prejudicial to the interest of their employer by wittingly processing and converted Shs.436,447,000 meant for road works to pay individual  officers’ allowances.
