Does this woman know who killed Kaweesi?

The governor and his team were given the statement of the account held by Pine-Herst Holdings (CS_0118900784215) at the CIMB Bank in Malaysia, showing an inflow of the alleged amount that was transferred from Bank of Uganda.

He was also given the executive Summary of a report titled “Role of Rogue Elements in Security and Ministry of Finance in Cyber and Economic Fraud”.

The report indicated that government bodies, and financial institutes in Uganda have been plagued by a vice, cyber-crime.

It added that individuals with in government had discovered the possibility of manipulating systems through the facilitation of ICT professionals known as hackers to perform fraud.

An agent who was part of the schemes noted that in the last few months, he had been involved in; transfer of money from my employer to a foreign bank in china, a total of $38million from finance IFMS through instruction of Keith Muhakanizi.

Away from the transfer, the hacker noted that he was also involved in transportation of huge amounts of money around the country for Bob Kabanero and Jim Muhwezi, whom he both met through Muhakanizi.

After reading this report, President Museveni is said to have met the agent responsible. He asked him about the money transfers. Apparently, the agent told the President that he had dropped $1.5million in Mbarara, $1million in Masaka and another $1.5million in Mbale to coordinate rebel activity.

When the President probed further, the agent said he had given the money to someone at Agip Motel in Mbarara. Agip is owned by Jim Muhwezi. But it seemed suspicious that an agent would just hand $ 1.5million to someone they didn’t know just like that.

Meanwhile, Governor Mutebile’s findings also arrived on April 7 as the president had asked.

“We have analysed the respective accounts and have not found any transactions for USD20million for GAVI Funds and USD 18million for Works in Progress account,” Mutebile’s report, a copy of which The Independent has seen reads in part.

The Independent spoke to Muhwezi, Kabonero and Muhakanizi who all dismissed the contents of the report as false.

Tumukunde versus Kayihura

Away from ISO, police has been trying to implicate Tumukunde. One of the suspects arrested by police in connection with the Kaweesi murder who has since been released.  55-year old Godfrey Musisi, his 42-year-old wife

Nankya Grace, and their three tenants, had on March 23 been arrested from their residence in Namugongo.

To break him, Musisi was severally tortured. On the third day of his arrest, he said, an officer he identified as Abbas Waswa took him to a room, threw something there and left.  “Instantly,” he said, “tears were coming from my eyes and mucus from my nose endlessly.” The room was not ventilated. He could feel his lungs burning.

They asked him to confess that Security Minister Henry Tumukunde approached him to kill Kaweesi and the IGP Kayihura.

Apparently, when he refused, Tumukunde asked him to procure assassins and he gave him the contact of Abdu Nuru in Busia and gave him Shs100m to keep quiet.

To get him to agree to confess these things, an officer said on the Kaweesi investigation alone, there was Shs3 billion. He could be given Shs1 billion.

“What is your account, they can first put Shs500 million, we be eating that one,” the officer said.

Herbert Muhangi, the commandant, police Flying Squad, also urged him to testify against that man.

In the last attempt to break him, an officer yanked his neck and dipped his head into a drum full of water.

“By the time I got out of the water,” Musisi said, “I was gasping for breath. I had no sense of life at all.”

The last officer to get him to talk was a one Minaana. “Why don’t you accept and get released? He asked him. After that, they never returned.

Musisi later secured bail with the assistance of human rights lawyer, Laudislaus Rwakafuzi. But his revelations showed the dark side of the animosity between the Security Minister and the Police Chief. Insiders see the Oct.12 clash as the extension of that fight, which they see as a major security threat.
