The Mukono Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded recently nominated Mukono South parliamentary candidate Mubarak Ssekikubo over an alleged government recruitment job scam.
Ssekikubo, the incumbent Chairperson of LC III, Nakisunga Sub-County, Mukono District was arraigned before the Mukono Grade 1 magistrate’s court on Monday and charged with obtaining money by false pretence and conspiracy to defraud.
Prosecution told court that the accused, between January and June 2025, in Mukono Town, allegedly conspired with Mugerwa Ronald Saaku, the Probation & Welfare Officer Lugazi Municipality who is on the same charges and Dr Wataba Saadi who is still at large to defraud a job applicant, Dr Mukisa George William, of UGX 38,000,000 by falsely claiming they could secure him a government job as a Medical Officer in Mukono District.
According to prosecution, the accused claimed that the said money was intended to facilitate members of the Mukono District Service Commission in helping him secure the Medical Officer position for which he had applied which was not the case.
Prosecution further told court that there are other cases where the same officials, in connection with some of the members of the Commission, have extorted money from job applicants. He has been remanded until 04 November until when he will reappear before court for further mention of the case.
