Police will not name grilled ministers in the iron sheet scandal probe.

4th April 2023 News Editor 0 Comments

The police task team at the CID headquarters in Kampala has stated that they have completed investigations into the iron sheet scandal in the prime minister’s office, in which several ministers were implicated in receiving thousands of iron sheets intended for vulnerable people in Karamoja.

Police spokesperson Fred Enanga says some exhibits were recovered and there were also forensic documents that were fully examined.

Even though the investigations included questioning and recording of statements from witnesses, Enanga refused to name the ministers and other high-ranking government officials who were questioned during the recently concluded process.

Enanga says after the conclusion of the process, the task team is now coming up with a conclusive investigative report supporting their investigation which shall be concluded next week when it will be submitted to the office of the DPP.

This investigation was kicked off after president Museveni ordered a multi-agency probe into circumstances under which ministers acquired iron sheets meant for beneficiaries in the Karamoja sub-region.
