Mbabazi who doubles as the Hamurwa Sub county LC.5 Councilor was arrested for fraudulently acquiring a loan of 1.2 million from the Sacco, yet he is not a journalist.

Others arrested with Mbabazi are, the Executive Director of Western Media Awards Moses Henry Tahoreraho and Bright Manure the Treasurer of Kabale Municipality Journalists Emyooga Sacco.

The three were arrested on the orders of the Kabale District RDC Darius Nandinda after they alleged mismanaged of Ug shs. 36 million that include 30m that was a grant from the government as a startup capital.

Their arrest follows an audit report presented by Kabale District commercial officer Erasmus Natumanya presented in which he said that the Kabale Municipality Emyooga Sacco was “grossly mismanaged” and there was no clear record of money used since the Sacco did not have cash books, payment vouchers and receipt books.
