Suspended Principal Accountant in the Office of the Prime Minister of Uganda, Mr. Geoffrey Kazinda has threatened to expose all corrupt officials left in the office of the prime minister.

Kazinda told his family members today at the constitutional court in Kampala that he is suffering alone yet there are more people who are corrupt but left free in the prime minister’s office.

The development comes today after Kazinda lost a petition to the Constitutional Court to stop his trials over the Office of Prime Minister’s fraud. The prime minister of Uganda is Amama Mbabazi, who is also accused of misappropriating public funds.

The prosecution says that Mr. Kazinda during the time he was in the prime minister’s office working as the Principal accountant in the Prime Minister’s office kept in a private residence computer generated letters and cash withdrawal authorization forms bearing forged signature of Pius Bigirimana , the Permanent Secretary in the Prime Minister’s office.

The serial numbers of the letters Kazinda reportedly forged are serial number 243607 on account of Bigirimana dated February 10, 2011 addressed to the director banking, Bank of Uganda purporting that it was signed by Bigirimana.

In South Africa the police, newspapers, local leaders and all people in power are not allowed to identify suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court. Presumption of innocence in South Africa is highly respected.

But in Uganda one is presumed guilty immediately or shortly after arrest. On arrest or immediately after the police, government officials and other public figures may parade you before cameras/journalists.

Then the police, army, or the government officials call you a criminal, fraudster, rapist, rebel, conman, thief, murder etc. The inspector General of police, the president, ministers, members of parliament etc may mention you as a criminal on radios, Television (TV) before   investigations commence. While you are in the police custody, the police, the army and some government officials may treat you as a convict prior to trial. After spending over seven years in prison, the government comes out to announce that it has lost interest in your case.

The A4C rallies were addressed by MP Mathias Mpuuga, Semujju Ibrahim, and political activists Ingrid Turinawe, Kazoora John, Jack Sabiiti and MP Roland Kaginda among others.

But the people at the rally were equally disappointed because Col. Kiiza Besigye was not at the A4C rallies in both Ntungamo and Mbarara. Besigye is currently in theUSAwhere he went to mobilize more funds to run A4C and FDC activities.

For instance, the police have today arrested a 19 year old student from Ntale school while impersonating Gen. Salim Saleh. Mike Mugarura was arrested by the police in Mbarara as he was conning a man in Mbarara of 250,000 shillings. Mugarura had introduced himself to this man of Rwandan origin that he was Gen. Salim Saleh and he would help his son to get a job at Bank of Uganda if he gave him 250,000 shillings.

Mugarura’s luck ran out as he had gone to collect the money and the police arrested him instead. He was arrested after the Rwandan man told one of his friends that Gen. Saleh was going to pick 250,000 from him.

His friend wondered how Saleh would collect 250,000 shillings just to get someone a job. The friend to this Rwandan man told him that Mugarura was a conman so they tipped police which arrested him on the arrival.
