KAMPALA, Uganda| The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU), working together with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) of the Uganda Police Force and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has arraigned an accountant at Nakawa Vocational Institute before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Court on charges of forgery and uttering false documents.

Samuel Wampero is accused of falsifying several academic documents, including Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) results purportedly issued by the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB).

Wampero has been remanded until April 22, 2025.
