Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate, His Worship Ronald Kayizzi, has remanded Ms. Namutebi Brenda Kwizerwa, Chief Operations Officer, World Trumpet Mission Uganda and Mr. Muhangi Eddie, Registration Officer, Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) to Luzira Prison over forgery and abetting forgery.
The duo pleaded not guilty to the charges and will return to Court on 11 th August, 2025 for mention of their case.
Investigations conducted by the Inspectorate of Government (IG), established that Ms. Namutebi, while serving as Chief Operations Officer at World Trumpet Mission Uganda unlawfully signed a Board resolution dated 25th January, 2024 in the name of Augustine Tamale, purporting to be an authentic record of the company.
The forged resolution purported to authorise the opening and operation of Uganda Shillings and United States Dollar bank accounts with Absa Bank under the programme name “GONATIONS” for John Mulinde Global Investments SMC Limited.
It was also established that Mr. Muhangi, while serving as a Registration Officer at URSB, aided and abetted Ms. Namutebi in the alleged forgery by facilitating the preparations and use of a false Board resolution.
The IG urges all public officers to stop using their offices to facilitate commission of crime and remain ethical while executing their duties.
