Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Masindi Chief Resident State Attorney from the office of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was yesterday arraigned before the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala and charged with accepting a bribe of Shs1.5m to close a defilement case.<\/p>\n

While appearing before Chief Magistrate Joan Aciro, Mr Charles Bwiso Bogere, 55, a resident of Fortunate Guest House in Masindi Municipality, together with D\/Sgt Rehema Kunihira, 42, a police officer, attached to Masindi Police Barracks, denied the charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecution states that Mr Bwiso and Sgt Rehema on March 3 at Masindi Town solicited a gratification of Shs1.5m from the relatives of a suspect in a defilement case in exchange for closure of the case.<\/p>\n

Under count two of the charge of corruption, prosecution states that the duo on March 10 in performance of their public functions, accepted Shs1m from the relatives of the suspect.<\/p>\n

The duo was arrested last week after the complainant tipped the State House Anti-Corruption Unit headed by Brig Gen Henry Isoke about the bribe.<\/p>\n

The Unit went on and provided the complainant with the money, whose serial numbers were photocopied as evidence. A trap was later laid and the state attorney was allegedly arrested receiving the bribe.<\/p>\n

State House Anti-Corruption Unit later tweeted: \u201cIn a joint intervention today, by State House, Anti-Corruption Unit and police, resident state attorney Bwiiso was caught red-handed receiving a bribe of Shs1.5m from the suspect\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the court documents, relatives revealed to the detectives that the two families had agreed to have the matter resolved amicably.<\/p>\n

Through their lawyers, the duo applied for bail yesterday, stating that they have fixed places of abode and that the offences are bailable.<\/p>\n

They claimed to have substantial sureties, including relatives and friends who will ensure their attendance of court whenever required.<\/p>\n

The accused persons were released on a cash bail of Shs600,000 with their sureties being bonded at a noncash bail of Shs40m.<\/p>\n
