The embattled Nyamweru Sub County Chief was yesterday arrested for Embezzling over ugx 42.5m.

Vivian Kwesiga has been accused of failing to account for 5.8 million shillings that was released in 2018/2019 financial year to clear fuel debt at Total Fuel Station Kabale branch as well as 7.8 million shillings to rehabilitate an 8-kilometre Habikenzi-Kakyenaga-Hakishenyi road, 10 million shillings for roofing a multipurpose hall and 3.3 million shillings for councilors ex-gratia.

In 2012, when he was the Kashambya Sub county Chief, he was netted for swindling 9.8million shillings meant to pay LCI &LCII salaries.

Now the Councilors led by David Karidungu the Nyamweru LCIII chairperson were forced to call the Rubanda district chairperson Jogo Kenneth Biryabarema to intervene into the matter saying that they could not withstand the matter anymore.

Jogo Kenneth Biryabarema also expressed his concern over the continued embezzlement of the sub county funds by Vivian saying as the district leaders, they had tried to investigate him several times.

Jogo therefore ordered the arrest of Mr. Vivian Kwesiga as the investigations continue.
