Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala has issued criminal summons against the embattled Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) executive director, Mr David Livingstone Ebiru over bribery allegations.<\/p>\n

Mr Ebiru was Wednesday afternoon set to appear in the dock at the Kololo-based court to answer charges relating to his alleged confession that he paid Shs100 million bribe to the National Standards Council (NSC) members in order to retain his job.<\/p>\n

However, this did not happen despite the fact that he was driven to the court premises by officials from the Inspectorate of Government. In the courtroom, prosecution led by Mr Rogers Kinobe sought criminal summons after court heard that he could not appear in the dock because he\u2019s still being interrogated.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Chief Magistrate, Joan Aciro issued the criminal summons against Mr Ebiru who\u2019s now expected to appear in the dock on August 8 for plea taking.<\/p>\n

Mr Ebiru is said to have confessed while appearing before the Parliament\u2019s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises (COSASE) to answer accountability questions.<\/p>\n

According to the charge sheet, Mr Ebiru being employed in public service as an Executive Director, Uganda National Bureau of Standard (UNBS) between October and December 2022 corruptly offered gratification of Shs100 million to Charles Masekuura as an inducement to secure his job.<\/p>\n
