The Criminal Investigations Division spokesperson, Charles Twine Mansio, the four tried to steal Shs 43 million from the Stanbic-held bank account.
‘’It is alleged that on 16th April 2021, the suspects hacked into Gen Saleh’s email account and gave an express instruction to the bank manager to effect payment on telephone numbers 0704799395, 0707382702, 0750669242, and 0705588790 through the bank to wallet facility,’’ Twine said.
Twine said that the bank manager became suspicious immediately after receiving the email.
“The bank manager became suspicious because their client had never carried out any monetary transactions in such a manner therefore he looked for proof that it is their client.”
When contacted, Gen Salim Saleh confirmed that the email came in fraudulently. He had not sent such an email to the bank. Through his military advisor, Gen Saleh filed a case at the Special Investigations Division. An investigation that soon ended in the arrest of four.
At the time of the arrest, a statement said police found the four suspects with 613 fraudulently registered sim cards. They also had computer laptops that authorities suspect they used to defraud other people using the same methods.
The CID spokesperson also said they retrieved exhibits and experts will inspect them scientifically for any information that could be evidence.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
