October 7th, 2025: The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU), working in close collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has arraigned the Chairperson of the Rakai District Service Commission, Mr. Mpuga David, before the Anti-Corruption Court.
Mr. Mpuga faces three counts of corruption after allegedly soliciting and receiving UGX 20 million from a candidate, with the promise of securing him employment as an Agricultural Officer in Rakai District.
His arrest followed a public outcry to the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Rakai, who received multiple complaints that the accused was consistently demanding bribes from candidates for every job vacancy advertised by the District Service Commission.
Appearing before the court this afternoon, Mr. Mpuga was formally charged and has since been remanded until 14th October 2024 as investigations continue.
The Unit reiterates its call to the public to report any suspected acts of corruption for prompt action.
