KAMPALA, UGANDA: The police in Kampala have arrested and charged two individuals for allegedly attempting to bribe a detective at Katwe police station.
The suspects identified as Yosse Lumala Kaweesa and Kimuli paul were arrested and detained at the police station on Monday, February 13, 2023, and later charged with corruption and bribery.
“On February 13, 2023, the Katwe Police Station in Kampala arrested and charged two individuals: Yosse Lumala Kaweesa and Kimuli Paul, on allegations of attempting to bribe investigating officer detective constable Joseph Muda,” said ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, the Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy police spokesperson.
According to Owoyesigyire, the two allegedly tried to bribe the detective in an attempt to secure the release of motorcycle exhibits and prevent the case from going to court.
“The suspects attempted to secure the release of motorcycle exhibits that had been recovered from Wansanso Zone, Kibuye 11 Parish, Makindye Division in Kampala District, and the case was court going with some suspects on remand,” Owoyesigyire said.
The KMP police boss urged the public to refrain from any instances of corrupting Police officers and to uphold the law at all times, and that as police, they remain “committed to upholding justice and protecting the safety of all Ugandans.”
“Katwe Police Station is dedicated to fighting corruption and will continue to prosecute those who engage in such practices,” Owoyesigyire concluded.
