The number of investigations into the wealth of embattled Director of Supervision at the Bank of Uganda Ms Justine Bagyenda are underway and it seems they will leave no stone unturned.
Investigators are interested in a number of things including the BoU boss’ lifestyle and spending patterns to establish if her income as a public servant fitted in her investments and spending patterns.
This week, investigators were combing for more leads and one of the things they are looking at is how Ms Bagyenda has been using her mobile money account (077****629). An analysis of her transactions however reveal for example, she sent more than Sh500 million via mobile money number to her son-in-law Robert Muhumuza (078****775). Editor: we don’t complete Bagyenda’s and Muhumuza’s full phone numbers in this publication in order to protect them from unnecessary calls on their lines.
Muhumuza, is married to one of Bagyenda’s daughter.
The other account which received lots of money from Bagyenda’s line belongs to Kalumbu General Agencies Limited Kampala. We shall reveal the owners of the business in our subsequent publications.
By close of last week at least three Government agencies including the Financial Intelligence Authority, Inspectorate of Government and Uganda Revenue Authority, had confirmed they were investigating the BoU boss.
While her leaked bank accounts show Ms Bagyenda having about sh20 billions sitting on her private accounts, not to mention the billions worth splush homes in various up and high end suburbs of Kampala, investigators believe that could be a tip of an iceberg.
