The Police’s Criminal Investigation Directorate has summoned at least 10 more officials, including legislators, Parliament and Finance ministry staff over ongoing corruption investigations.
The dozen or so officials will appear at the CID headquarters in Kibuli today to answer corruption queries.
While the identities of those summoned have not been revealed, sources say they include some parliamentary committee leadership.
The summonses come fast on the heels of detention of three legislators, whose homes in Kampala were searched for evidence linking them to ongoing investigations.
The investigations are on the orders of President Museveni who told the nation last week that he had irrefutable evidence that legislators, Parliament and Finance ministry staff were running a racket to influence Budget Processes.
The Police investigations come at a time Parliament is facing sixes and sevens after some legislators triggered the censure of four backbench commissioners over corruption allegations. END
