It is an open secret that most of the high level fraud in Uganda rotates around the presidency. For obvious reasons, the key players are those individuals who are connected to the presidency and unfortunately they happen to be from one region and from a certain ethnic community. The nature of fraud involves duping of victims into parting with money so as to meet Museveni, to access government handouts and other state privileges. The latest incident involves Museveni's Assistant Private Secretary Incharge of Poverty Alleviation, Caroline Kembabazi. She allegedly forwarded three of her tribesmen, Magezi Kenneth, Muramuzi Duncan and Abomeire Ela to the Electoral Commission claiming that Museveni had directed that they be appointed District Registrars. She was nubbed by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and charged with giving false information. The appropriate charge ought to have been Abuse of Office but because it is a more serious charge than Giving False Information. 

The offence of Giving False Information under S. 115 of the Penal Code Act is treated as a misdemeanor and punishable by imprisonment not exceeding one year.  On the other hand, the offence of Abuse of Office under S.86 of the sane Act is a felony that is punishable by imprisonment not exceeding seven years and not less than three years.  Therefore, according to the Museveni regime, Kembabazi did not abuse office but simply gave false information!!!  No wonder, what she did is the common practice of accessing employment in most government agencies and departments. She too accessed her current employment in a similar fashion.  Just a few days ago, Museveni's Senior Presidential Advisor on Poverty Alleviation 
Catherine Kusasira and a top political mobiliser, Mondo Mugisha were implicated in a Shillings 5b scam. They would lure their victims into paying for offers of arranging meetings with Museveni, his wife and brother, Gen. Saleh. Other victims would be promised foreign trips and consideration for government poverty alleviation initiatives. In other instances, the victims would be made to pay for being included in the team to mobilise votes for Museveni for the 2021 General Elections. The fraudsters would be aided by other senior State House officials and a Commissioners of Police. 

In both instances, the regime has moved very fast to offer the highly connected fraudsters maximum protection while duping the public with mere PR staunts.
