The Inspectorate of Government (IG) says that it dropped investigations into bribery allegations against Bukoto South Member of Parliament, Twaha Kagabo.
Kagabo was arrested in August after he tried to return the 40 million Shillings that he reportedly received from the residence of the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among under unclear circumstances.
The MP was picked up by the parliamentary police, which handed him to the Inspectorate of Government (IG). However, upon his arrest, Kagabo was briefly held in their custody, questioned and the Inspectorate obtained a statement from him as well as the 40 million which formed part of the evidence. The MP was later released on bond pending further investigations.
Now, the Inspector General of Government (IGG) Beti Olive Kamya says her office has since dropped investigations in the matter since Kagabo, who was the complainant withdrew the case and also apologized to parliament.
Asked about the fate of the 40 million that was taken as evidence, Farouk Kayondo, the Deputy Spokesperson at the IG said that this money was deposited in the Consolidation Fund.
On 21st September, Parliament adopted a report by the rules committee pardoning MP Kagabo regarding his bribery allegations against the Speaker.
