KAMPALA. The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) has thwarted a $4.95 million scam targeting a Turkish investor, Furkan Gumran.

The scam involved a fake Ministry of Energy supply contract for AD Blue solution.

Four suspects were arrested at AHA Towers in Kampala: Dr. Mulyansaka Charles, Mwesigwa Moses, Seruma Moses, and Watum Peter. They have been paraded before the press on Tuesday.

Mr. Ochwo urged foreign investors to verify government contract proposals with SH-ACU or the State House Investors Protection Unit (SH-IPU).

He commended Mr. Gumran’s prudence, saying it exemplifies how investors should respond to suspicious deals.

The SH-ACU is also seeking information on Ssekidde Lubowa Godfrey, a fugitive wanted for defrauding a Kenyan company of $197,670 using forged documents.
