Hon Mwiru (FDC) said that the committee is just going to evaluate Takwenda’s evidence and later they will decide on what to do in the final report.

He said, despite his death it will not stop Government from recovering the stolen money from his assets if the committee finds out that he  was involved in the scandal.

“It’s very bad that he passes on but we shall recover the loss from his estates. The law gives us power to sell part of his estates to recover the money his mismanaged” Hon Mwiru mentioned

Amon Takwenda was among the 70 OPM officials under Investigation over the sh50b scam for Peace and Recovery Development Programme (PRDP) for northern Uganda.

His death, comes after Police had launched a probe in the OPM office. Police had earlier interrogated Takwenda over his role in the sh14.8b that was allegedly channeled from the PRDP account to the Crisis Management Account.
