One of the appeals involves Engineer Kakiiza Robert, a former Principal Civil Engineer at the Ministry of Works and Transport, who was acquitted of abuse of office. The State is appealing the acquittal, seeking to overturn the lower court's decision.
The charges stemmed from his failure to perform his duties when a bogus company; Ammam Industrial Tools and Equipment Limited (AITEL) was contracted to purchase 70, 000 bicycles from India. The bicycles were meant to be used by LC1 and parish chairpersons for government activities ahead of the 2011 general elections.
