Parrots UG | Courts. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is in processes to reinstate corruption charges against former principal accountant in the Office of the Prime Minister, Geoffrey Kazinda.
Kazinda had since 2012 been battling with pending financial abuse and embezzlement charges but were later stayed by the constitutional court ruling in August, 2020.
Kazinda was arrested in 2012 and charged before the Anti-Corruption Court with several charges including embezzlement of refugee funds, causing financial loss, forgery and abuse of office.
However, corridors have it that the DPP was dissatisfied with the ruling and has since filed an appeal which is yet to be fixed for hearing and determination.
On February12, the Supreme Court stayed the 7th August 2020 Constitutional Court ruling which directed that Kazinda be released from Luzira prison where he had been incarcerated since 2012 pending the disposal of the DPP’s appeal before the same court.
