JINJA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY; The Ntoroko District Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Mr Anslem Kyaligonza was Tuesday afternoon charged with 10 counts of forgery and remanded to Katojo government prison.
He was presented before chief magistrate Moses Kule Lubangula in Fort Portal on Tuesday after his arrest by the Brig Henry Isoke led by State House Anti-corruption Unit on June 3.
He pleaded not guilty. Prosecution was led by the State Attorney Andrew Kasaija who told court inquiries were still ongoing and sensitive information on the matter had not yet been acquired and thus asked the court for more time to finish investigations.
Kyaligonza’s lawyer Mr Victor Businge applied for bail on account of ill health and advanced age. The accused first presented two sureties including; Mr John Katotoroma the Chief Administrative Officer Kabarole District and Mr Muhimbo Edward the Town Clerk Mbasani Town Council in Kakumiro District.
The Prosecutor objected to the second surety saying that he is not a resident in the court’s jurisdiction and lied to the court that he is a biological brother to the accused yet he is his brother-in-law.Kyaligonza was consequently remanded.
He is accused among others of recruiting friends into district jobs in total disregard of the civil service regulations.
