The Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala has granted eight million Shillings cash bail to Joshua Abaho the Senior Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Karamoja Affairs.


Abaho is accused of conspiring with her boss Mary Gorreti Kitutu to defraud the government of its iron sheets. Court presided over by Chief Magistrate Joan Aciro also asked each of his five sureties to execute a non-cash bond of 150 million shillings.

The sureties are Kenneth Mugumya Tibeijuka, the Assistant Commissioner in the Ministry of Education who is also his elder brother, Johnson Musinguzi his cousin and Assistant Commissioner of the Ministry of Works and Transport and Geoffrey Ndiwalana the Engineer for Makindye Sabagabo Municipal Council. Others are Simon Peter Kasyate his nephew who is also the Deputy Director of Public and Corporate Affairs at Kampala Capital City Authority and Simon Tumwesigye Karokora his cousin who is also the Customs Supervisor at Uganda Revenue Authority.

Aciro found them to be substantial including the nephew whom the prosecution had rejected on grounds that he cannot produce his elder to court as and when needed. The case was adjourned to June 1 for both Abaho, Minister Kitutu, and Naboya to return to court for mention.
