The Inspector General of Government, Justice Irene Mulyagonja, has issued a report that finds the Executive Director of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), Dr. Andrew Seguya not culpable of the allegations of abuse of office and causing financial loss.

The report follows an investigation into eleven allegations made against Mr. Seguya by a whistleblower.

In a letter to the Minister for Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities and copied to the ED UWA, the IGG only recommended that Mr. Seguya’s benefit of security should revert to actual guards unless the contract is adjusted.

Justice Mulyagonja argued that in the wake of terrorism threats and related incidents, it is not logical for a public official of his status to manage his own security.

Attached is the detail of the investigations.
