Lawyer jailed in Justice Kanyeihamba shs200m heist

09 Jul 2025
Kampala, Uganda – The State House Anti Corruption Unit (SH-ACU), in a joint operation with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID1_UG) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPPUGANDA), has arraigned Obam Andrew, an advocate, before the Anti-Corruption Court on charges of money laundering.
Mr. Obam is accused of conspiring with Kaliisa David, a driver for Professor George Kanyeihamba, to fraudulently steal and transfer over USD 56,500 between October 2022 and September 2024.
The funds were allegedly siphoned using stolen cheques belonging to Prof. Kanyeihamba. $56,500  = 202,813,530 UGX
Investigators state that the stolen money was transferred to the account of Loi Advocates, where Mr. Obam is the sole signatory. He has been remanded into custody until July 14, 2025, when he is expected to enter his plea.
Uganda’s legal profession, like any other, has faced its share of scrutiny regarding ethical conduct, with several lawyers being accused of engaging in fraudulent activities. These cases often involve the misuse of client funds, land fraud, or other forms of financial impropriety, undermining public trust in the justice system.
Professor George W. Kanyeihamba aged 85 is a prominent figure. He is a retired Supreme Court Judge, a former cabinet minister, and a Member of Parliament. He also chaired the Legal Committee of the Constituent Assembly that drafted Uganda’s 1995 Constitution.
