City Laywer Bob Kasango

City lawyer Bob Kasango has agreed to refund 7.8 billion shillings which he had received through pension scam after serious grilling by Members of Parliament. Bob Kasango decided to refund the money after he agreed with MPs that he got the money through irregular court order.

However the Public Accounts Committee chaired by Serere district Woman MP, Alice Alaso, noted that although Lawyer Bob Kasango claimed to be the lawyer for the pensioners he had no list of beneficiaries inspite having an agreement with them to pay him 30% of the total bill of 15.4 billion shillings.

Bob Kasango named the High court judge for Masaka, Eudes Kaitirima, as one of the persons who demanded 500 million shillings in the transaction of pension funds to pensioners. He also pinned judge Kaitirima for signing on court orders that procured the 15.4 billion shillings to ghost pensioners. He said that the judge’s signature must be examined by handwriting experts through the directorate of public prosecution.

Kasango told MPs that as sure as day follows night the signature belongs to the judge. He also watered down the recording done by judge Kaitirima which was tabled before the Public Accounts Committee on the basis that it was tampered with. He stated that his meeting with the judge was 2 hours and 17 minutes  but the recordings in the committee is of 38 minutes and alluded that the judge must have cut out a lot of information .

Members of Parliament say that they will secure services of hand writing experts to establish whether the signature which procured pension funds to ghost pensioners was for the judge as insisted by lawyer Bob Kasango.
