The Mbale Court has convicted two senior Manafwa District officials, Principal Human Resource Officer (PHRO) Betty Namono and Chief Finance Officer (CFO) Michael Bichacha, over a Shs1.6 billion fraud case involving Duckhill Microfinance Limited in Mbale.
Court documents reveal that the two accused obtained the money through false pretences, using forged contracts, documents, and security instruments, including land titles, to secure loans.
The officials are also accused of using government funds to partially repay the loans, which were later recalled, leaving the borrowed amounts unpaid.
Authorities further allege that Namono and Bichacha exploited their positions to access credit far beyond their capacity to repay.
Both officials were previously interdicted for alleged collusion, though their interdiction was later lifted before the conclusion of the case.
Sources from Duckhill Microfinance informed this publication that their decision to go to court was aimed at seeking justice and recovering their money.
The accused are currently detained at Maluku Government Prison, awaiting sentencing which was supposed to be held today but was postponed until next week.
