Mr Micheal Longole, the Karamoja Sub-region police spokesperson, yesterday said no one is above the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat our officer did was uncalled for because this sugar was impounded through concerted effort from all stakeholders and not by an individual, which means releasing it should have involved all stakeholders such as URA, UNBS, and Interpol, not him,\u201d Mr Longole said.<\/p>\n

He added that there was no report on the investigations that authorised the release of the consignment.<\/p>\n

Mr Longole said the officer would be produced in court to answer charges of disobedience to lawful orders, corruption and negligent on duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
