Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A clan leader accused of stealing President Museveni\u2019s condolence cash to the family of deceased Apac National Resistance Movement (NRM) elders’ league general secretary, Charles Owani has lost his position.<\/b><\/p>\n

Members of Okadameri Clan have asked their clan chief (Awitong) Jimmy Anthony Oyuku to vacate his seat over allegedly having a hand in the theft of Shs2million which was part of the Museveni\u2019s Shs10million condolence to the deceased\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Okadameri Clan speaker Joel Patrick Opeto said the Shs2million went missing during the April 10, 2024 burial of Owani at his home in Dulowelo Village, Ololango Parish in Teboke Sub-county.<\/p>\n

Opeto said during the burial of the man who died on April 3, Prof William Otim Nape first handed over the money to the accused to keep it before it could be given to the bereaved family the following morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, the clan leader allegedly picked Shs2million purportedly to facilitate persons that helped to lobby the said condolence from State House. On April 12, only Shs8million was handed over to the family,\u201d he.<\/p>\n

Martin Okello, the deceased\u2019s elder son, said they reported the matter to the office of the Apac Resident District Commissioner (RDC) George Abudul \u201cto recover the stolen money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want him (clan leader) to go to jail. We only want him to refund the money,\u201d Okello told.<\/p>\n

According to Okello, an April 27 clan meeting at Future Prospects Technical School in Lira City resolved that a \u201cthief cannot be allowed to continue leading Okadameri Clan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clan resolved that the deputy clan leader should now be the acting Awitong of Okadameri,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On April 29, 2024, the Apac RDC said he had successfully recovered the Shs2million.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, Awitong sent that money to me via mobile money. Today, I handed over the Shs2million recovered from Oyuku to the widows and children of Owani,\u201d Abudul told this publication.<\/p>\n

However, Okadameri Clan speaker Opeto said a decision to relieve the clan leader of his duties is irreversible even after he has returned the money.<\/p>\n

Background <\/b><\/p>\n

Initially, Shs10million had been sent by President Museveni and delivered by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) Legal Officer JB Uhuru.<\/p>\n

Awitong picked Shs2million which he claimed was a kickback to support those who aided processing the fund, the RDC explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Office of the RDC was notified, and immediately the clan chief was apprehended and asked to refund the money,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

At the time of his death, Owani was general secretary of the NRM elders\u2019 league in Apac Distric.<\/p>\n
