Furthermore, he strongly urged all foreign investors when approached with offers of government contracts, to verify the authenticity of such proposals with SH-ACU or its sister agency, the Shield Investors (SH-IPU).
A team of 4 high class fraudsters attached to the Ministry of Energy have been intercepted ahead of implementation of their mission to defraud a Turkish investor and his company, of a USD 4,952,000 scam in a related fake ministry supply contract of AD BLUE solution, a chemical used to reduce carbon emissions in auto engines.
The four, the Chairman of Special Contracts Committee Dr. Charles Mulyansaka, the Director for Procurement Moses Mwesigwa, the Communication IT Specialist Seruma Moses and Secretary Peter Watum, had targeted a Turkish investor Furkan Gumran and his company M/S Sirus Blue Chemical Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
In a press briefing on July 24, 2025, Deputy Head of the unit Israel Ochwo said the four fraudsters were intercepted before execution of their evil plan, and praised Mr. Gumran for fast action to seek clarification from relevant authorities before proceeding with any transactions.
Ochwo noted that by collaborating with SH-ACU, Mr. Gumran helped orchestrate a controlled meeting with the fraudsters, which ultimately led to their arrest at AHA Towers in Kampala, adding that his actions and trust in the system were commendable and exemplify how other investors should respond when they have doubts about business transactions.
Furthermore, he strongly urged all foreign investors when approached with offers of government contracts, to verify the authenticity of such proposals with SH-ACU or its sister agency, the Shield Investors (SH-IPU).
Meanwhile, the Deputy SHACU Head, disclosed that a hunt is on for one Ssekidde Lubowa Godfrey sometimes going by the names ‘Maj. Gen. Sam Kiwanuka’, said to have defrauded Sidar Limited (Kenya) of USD 197,670 used forged documents purportedly from the Office of the President and Bank of Uganda.
Ochwo called on the public to report any information regarding the fugitive fraudsters who are suspected to be on the run.
