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.

The investigations started after Bad Black last week unsuccessfully applied to secure a Germany Visa so as to travel to Germany.

Bad Black was granted bail in December last year after she had been on remand at Luzira prison for a month on embezzlement charges.

A source at the German embassy told our informers that the officials at the embassy requested her to first bring written clearance from the court allowing her to travel to German because she still had court issues to solve first.  Following the development Uganda intelligence officials started probing circumstances under which Bad Black acquired another passport when her passport was deposited in court last year.

The prosecution says that in September 2010, Bad Black’s boyfriend, David Green Halgh, opened a company with Bad Black. The company was registered as Daveshan Development Limited.

It was to deal in land purchase and property management. Green had 75% of the shares and Bad Black only 25%.

She says extrajudicial killings do not uphold good governance and deny suspects the right to a fair hearing;

Apio says the US government which recently sent 100 special forces to help Uganda, South Sudan, DR Congo and Central African Republic to kill or capture Kony and his remaining commanders should ensure the rebel leader is captured alive.
