Meanwhile the Buganda Road Magistrates Court has acquitted the former Chief Executive Officer of Uganda Airlines Cornwell Muleya on charges of disobedience of lawful orders by the Inspectorate of Government requiring him to record a statement on matters related corruption.
The Court presided over by Grade One Magistrate Asuman Muhumuza today acquitted Muleya and set him free saying that he was satisfied with his defense that by the time he was summoned by the IGG, he was out of the country in South Africa and when he returned, he did not report as required because he was sick.
The Prosecutors from the IGG ‘s office led by Rogers Kinobe had initially accused Muleya of having been summoned on May 23, 2022 to provide documents regarding alleged mismanagement of Public funds, procurements and recruitment of staff at Uganda Airlines. However, even though other staff of Uganda Airlines successfully recorded witness statements, efforts to get Muleya were futile despite the fact that his phone details kept showing that he was in the country.
