MASAKA. The state House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Department and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has arraigned Mutebi John Rogers, Bbale Joseph, and Matovu John at the Masaka Chief Magistrates Court on charges of theft and neglect of duty and alleged misappropriation of funds meant for PDM SACCO members in Bukakata Sub-County, Masaka District.
Mutebi and Bbale are accused of embezzling millions between December 2023 and October 2024, while Matovu, an Agricultural Officer/Focal Person for Masaka District, is charged with failing in his oversight duties regarding the PDM SACCOs in the district. The accused have been remanded until December 23, 2024.
These high-profile arrests come in the wake of a thorough inspection tour and public meeting spearheaded by Hon.
