Two former senior Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) officials aided city businessman Apollo Senkeeto to obtain false securities that led to the loss of sh24.7b, court has heard.

Appearing before the Anti-Corruption Court yesterday, the Inspectorate of Government (IG) investigating officer, Lisa Mwagale, revealed that Senkeeto obtained Statewide Insurance Company Limited (SWICO) securities with the help of the accused – Joe Ssemugooma and Wilberforce Senjako.
