Interdicted former Principal Accountant in the Prime minister’s Office, Geoffrey Kazinda has been denied bail and instead committed to the High Court for trial.
The Anti Corruption Court Chief Magistrate, Irene Akankwasa sent him back on remand to Luzira Prison on grounds that he is still being investigated over various cases.
She concurred with the prosecution that there are a lot of documents; some of which are to be recovered from his residence, and releasing him would interfere with investigations.
Kazinda now faces nine more counts including Forgery, Abuse of Office and unlawful possession of government documents.
Prosecution alleges that on 9th May this year while at his home in Bukoto Nakawa division, Kazinda forged the signature of the Permanent Secretary Pius Bigirimana on Bank of Uganda security papers and later addressed them to the Director of the said Bank, an act that was prejudicial to his employer.
