The newly appointed Clerk to Parliament, Dr Edward Ssengozi Damulira, appeared as a witness at the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala to testify in the high-profile Shs60b fraud trial.
Taking the stand, Dr Damulira addressed the court regarding the allocation and execution of Shs13 billion directed toward treasury upgrades. During his testimony, he clarified his administrative boundaries and distance from specific financial workflows tied to the controversy.
According to proceedings, Dr Damulira noted that he was not privy to the security breaches that ultimately led to the alleged financial loss of government funds. He further pointed out that the Accountant General operates independently and reports directly to the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury (PSST).
The trial continues to attract significant public interest as anti-corruption authorities scrutinize the oversight mechanisms and financial transactions surrounding the multi-billion-shilling expenditures.
