Amir Kayiwa has been charged before the Anti-Corruption Court with allegedly offering Shs8 million to police officers guarding a crime scene in an attempt to gain access to evidence linked to the alleged theft of 785 kilograms of gold.
Prosecution alleges that on 29 August 2026, Kayiwa approached police officers at Lubowa in Kajjansi Town Council, Wakiso District, and offered them Shs8 million.
The money was allegedly intended to help him gain access to the office of Asimwe Emmanuel at Details Security Company Ltd, where he allegedly wanted to remove vital evidence.
The incident happened after a complaint was filed over the alleged theft of 785 kilograms of gold from the company’s premises. The Anti-Corruption Unit and police responded by securing and cordoning off the area as investigations into the alleged theft continued.
Kayiwa was subsequently arrested and charged with offering gratification, a corruption-related offence.
He was arraigned by the Anti-Corruption Unit in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
The court remanded Kayiwa until 30 September 2026 as investigations continue.
