The State House Anti-Corruption Unit together with Uganda Police have on Friday, July 7, 2023, arraigned Dan Malinga, a Bukedea Town Councillor, before the Magistrate Court of Bukedea over assault.
According to the Anti-Corruption Unit, he is accused of organizing and directing a bunch of thugs to attack and rob Steven Omagor, one of the candidates for the LCV Chairperson by-election.
“The assault occurred on June 6, 2023, when Mr. Omagor approached the Electoral Commission gate at Bukedea, to present himself for nomination as a candidate for the LCV Chairperson by-election,” Anti-Corruption unit said.
It is alleged that the assault was intended to prevent his nomination for the position.
