Following a July 16 directive by President Museveni to Anite asking her to cause an audit into UTL to enable government confirm the allegations about the mess at the telecom company, there has been a continued standoff on whether to audit or not between the Minister of State for Privatisation and Investment Evelyn Anite on side and the Attorney General\u2019s office and Keith Muhakanizi on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Uganda Telecom (UTL) saga has continued to rage which has led matters to the office of the Inspector General of Government (IGG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the latest, a man has petitioned the Inspectorate of Government to commence investigations into the illicit wealth amassed by the Attorney General William Byaruhanga, his deputy Mwesigwa Rukutana and Finance Ministry Permanent Secretary Keith Muhakanizi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a letter dated July 19, Davidson Ssemwanga says the above mentioned public officials have amassed a lot of wealth that should be suspect to investigation on how they acquired it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor example, Rukutana owns five arcades, six storied apartments in Zzana and two houses in Kololo. Keith Muhakanizi owns five-storied apartments in Bukoto, four in Naguru and three houses in Germany where he was staying as he got treatment recently and two others in Mbarara,\u201d Ssemwanga says in his petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMuhakanizi also owns in total 50 square miles of land. William Byaruhanga has bought land in front of his Rwenzori buildings,\u201d Ssemwanga\u2019s petition added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uganda Telecom Limited audit has continued to manifest itself and according to the latest letter, the IGG has been asked to investigate the interest of the three government officials in the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the letter, Ssemwanga also says it is surprising as to why the three government officials have been fighting hard to ensure the UTL audit does not happen, a thing he says needs to be investigated.
