Auditor General John Muwanga 
By Nelson Wesonga & Yasiin Mugerwa
In 2012/13 officials in the Public service and Finance ministries, the Bank of Uganda and one foreign-owned commercial bank colluded to spirit Shs165 billion from the public coffer. They succeeded by creating thousands of ghost pensioners. The suspect’s invested much of the money in real estate
The Public service ministry has over the last twelve months paid out Shs11 billion to pensioners whose existence the Auditor General John Muwanga is questioning. 
Further, the ministry also made multiple payments to some pensioners who had already received their monthly dues. On this, public service doled Shs1 billion.

One person has been injured and rushed to hospital as police in Bukwo district fired teargas and live bullets to disperse Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate, Dr Kizza Besigye’s supporters.
Police commanded by Siipi region RPC Gerald Twishime, ordered Dr Besigye and his supporters not to proceed to Tatriet camp in Bukwo district, Sebei sub-region but in vain. This was after a group led by the old people asked Dr Besigye to visit the camp.
Dr Besigye broke through a police human barricade and walked towards the camp. 
The police then reacted by shooting live bullets and later tear gas.
A man only identified as Kweyei was hit by a rubber bullet and taken to Bukwo hospital for medical attention.
