The former Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Pius Bigirimana has distanced himself from his own signature that siphoned Billions of Foreign Aid Money stolen from Prime Minister’s Office.

Bigirimana is blaming his junior staff, the former Principal Accountant in the Office of the Prime Minister, Geoffrey Kazinda for stealing the money yet; all papers were signed by Bigirimana himself without Kazinda’s signiture.

President Museveni, not so long ago also employed the same trick to distance himself from his own signature (Banteze empappula) that some people in his government had used to embezzle Billions of Uganda Taxpayers’ Money. The prime suspect Bigirimana is now serving as a witness against Kazinda.

Kazinda, 43, is facing 29 counts of forgery of Bank of Uganda security papers, cash withdraw forms, causing financial loss, embezzlement and forging the signature of Pius Bigirimana. His case is before Justice David Wangutusi.
