Stanley Ssendegeya remanded for forging academic documents
The former Managing Director of Uganda Railways Corporation, Stanley Ssendegeya, has been charged and remanded to Luzira prison for forging academic documents that he used to secure employment.
Ssendegeya was apprehended this morning by the State House Anti-corruption unit while en route to Nakasero Hospital, where he reportedly receives daily medication for a stroke. At Buganda Road Court, Ssendegeya appeared before Grade One Magistrate Siena Owomugisha and denied forging a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Prosecution alleges that in July 2020, the 54-year-old falsified his CV and provided false information to a recruitment firm. Ssendegeya applied for bail on the grounds that his medical condition could not be adequately addressed in prison. Currently on interdiction, Ssendegeya has presented three sureties, but the court has reserved its ruling for Monday, 27th November. He has been remanded to Luzira prison
