The Anti-Corruption court has charged and remanded a city lawyer Andrew Obam over money laundering after stealing UGX 202 million from retired Supreme Court Judge George W. Kanyeihamba on Wednesday.
Court heard that between October 2022 and September 2024, the accused conspired with Kaliisa David, a driver of Prof. George Kanyeihamba to fraudulently steal and transfer a total of over USD 56,500 (UGX 202 million) using cheques that were stolen from him.
