New Parliament Clerk Denies Knowledge of System Hack in Shs60b BoU Heist

The newly designated Clerk to Parliament, Dr Edward Ssengozi Damulira, has stated that he has no knowledge of who hacked government systems during the infamous Shs60 billion Bank of Uganda (BoU) financial heist.

Testifying at the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala, Dr Ssengozi addressed the court regarding the high-profile financial scandal that has drawn intense public scrutiny. During the proceedings, he notably admitted that the ministry had never conducted an official investigation into the alleged theft of the massive sum.

The revelations have added a fresh layer of complexity to the ongoing judicial inquiries surrounding financial governance and institutional oversight in Uganda. Legal observers and anti-corruption advocates continue to monitor the court sessions closely as more officials take the stand to shed light on how the security breach and subsequent fund disappearance occurred.

Further testimonies are expected to unfold as the Anti-Corruption Court digs deeper into the systemic vulnerabilities that allowed the multi-billion shilling heist to take place.
