Mr. Kirya Faisal (40), the Senior Assistant Secretary in Ministry of East African Community Affairs was charged at the anti Corruption Court with alleged embezzlement of over UGX 500 Million. H/W Sarah Namusobya presided over the matter.

According to the charge sheet, during the Financial Year 2014/2015, while performing his duties with Ministry of Local Government in the same capacity, the accused official abused his office and diverted UGX 528,303,012 to pay for various activities unrelated to those for which they were intended.

Kirya denied the charges before HW Sarah Namusobya granted him a cash bail of UGX 20 million and his sureties bonded UGX 200 million not cash.

Court was adjourned to 29th July, 2022 for mention of the case.
