The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU), working together with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), arraigned Mr. Akleo Migisha, an Advocate, before the Anti-Corruption Court on charges of Forgery, Theft, and Conspiracy to Defraud the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Council (UNMC)—the regulatory body for the nursing profession in Uganda.
Investigations revealed that the accused, in collaboration with several others—including Cissy Mudhasi, a dismissed Magistrate—orchestrated a fraudulent scheme in which they produced and used falsified legal documents to irregularly obtain an arbitral award from court.
Through this fictitious process, they claimed to have been contracted by UNMC to develop a software and database application, alleging that the Council failed to pay for the service. They then fraudulently secured an irregularly issued garnishee order, which they used to attach the Council’s account. From this, they unlawfully stole UGX 444.3 million.
