The arrest warrant, issued on July 21, 2023, by Deputy IGG Anne Twinomugisah Muhairwe, orders police officers to arrest Ebiru in response to allegations of corruption.

According to the warrant, Mr. Ebiru was summoned to appear before the Inspectorate of Government on July 21, 2023, at 2 pm, to testify or furnish information related to an ongoing inquiry. However, he failed to respond to the summons or provide any evidence for his non-appearance.

Consequently, the ombudsman directed officers to arrest Ebiru on sight.

Last week, Ebiru admitted to paying a bribe of shs100 million in an attempt to prevent the termination of his contract while appearing before Parliament’s Committee on Public Accounts – Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises (COSASE).

“I confess that I bribed the board to secure my position. The shs100 million was handed over to one board member for distribution,” Ebiru said.

However, Charles Musekuura, the UNBS board chairperson, firmly denied the allegations, stating that he had no knowledge of any such transaction.

Ebiru later made a u-turn and retracted the bribery allegations.
