A Senior Clinical Officer at Kikoni Health Centre IV has been charged with obtaining money by false pretence after allegedly collecting Shs23 million from several people by promising to secure them jobs with Rwampara District Local Government.
Kamugisha Asaph was arraigned before the Ndeija Magistrate’s Court in Rwampara District on two counts of obtaining money by false pretence. He was remanded until November 3, 2026.
According to the prosecution, Kamugisha allegedly obtained the money from several victims on February 23, 2026, at Kanoni Town in Rwampara District, claiming he could help them secure employment with the district local government.
His arrest followed complaints from members of the public during the national “Expose the Corrupt” campaign held in Rwampara District.
The campaign was spearheaded by the Minister of State for Local Government, Balaam Barugahara.
The State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), subsequently investigated the allegations, leading to Kamugisha’s arrest and arraignment.
Kamugisha remains on remand as the case proceeds through the courts.
