Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Kampala have arrested a woman over secretly attempting to bribe a city policeman with Shs1million for a man in custody to evade investigations.<\/p>\n

On Monday, police accused Ms Olivia Asiimwe of offering a bribe to detective constable Stanley Ibanda to forego investigations and possible prosecution of her detained brother who was allegedly among a notorious gang in Uganda\u2019s capital, Kampala.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of secretly taking the bribe, the investigating officer decided to turn to his supervisor ASP Omar Karim, an action that led to the arrest of the suspect,\u201d police spokesperson, CP Fred Enanga explained.<\/p>\n

Recently ranked by a Fourth National Integrity Survey Report as the most corrupt institution in the country, police on March 21 applauded the two officers for the \u201coutstanding representation\u201d of the forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsiimwe\u2019s arrest therefore, demonstrates our commitment and resolve to fight and stamp out corrupt tendencies in police,\u201d Inspector General of Police (IGP), Martins Okoth Ochola, said in a brief statement issued by police.<\/p>\n

Police accounts show that Ms Asiimwe\u2019s brother was, together with some other two suspected criminals netted on March 11 after the trio reportedly stabbed a ‘chapatti maker\u2019 identified as Musa Muganga and robbed him of Shs60,000 .<\/p>\n

\u201cIvan Akanyijuka had been arrested with his accomplices, Barnabas Kavuma and Ivan Kato for robbery. They are one of the criminal gangs behind the mugging and robbery of pedestrians,\u201d police informed.<\/p>\n

Police say the three were mid-March 2022 charged with aggravated robbery at Mwanga II Court and remanded.<\/p>\n

Condemning Ms Asiimwe\u2019s deliberate attempt to derail justice, police vowed not to tolerate anyone intending to \u201ctarnish the badge of its frontline officers\u201d through corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to warn the public that there are consequences in trying to bribe a police officer. It is an offence that is punishable by law,\u201d CP Enanga emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Asiimwe is pending court,\u201d police noted.<\/p>\n

144th rank<\/b><\/p>\n

Slightly below the global average of 43 points, Uganda\u2019s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) scored 27\/100 in 2020 and 2021 respectively, according to Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index.<\/p>\n

Only third after South Sudan and Burundi in the East African bloc, Uganda\u2019s CPI score is 144th worst amongst the world\u2019s worst performing.<\/p>\n
