Gen. Damulira Warns PDM Thieves: Surrender to Police Before We Come for You
Major General Christopher Damulira has issued a stern warning to officials involved in the theft or mismanagement of Parish Development Model (PDM) funds in Uganda. Over 300 suspects have already been arrested as part of a coordinated operation to combat corruption in the government program.
Why it matters
Corruption in poverty-alleviation programs directly undermines government efforts to support vulnerable populations and maintain public trust.
The Director of Crime Intelligence in the Uganda Police Force AIGP Major General Christopher Damulira has warned whoever is involved in stealing PDM money or mismanaging the PDM programme to immediately report themselves to police before the long arm of the law catches up with them.
General Damulira made the warning during PDM Operation review meetings in Eastern Uganda where he addressed Resident City/ District Commissioners, Regional Internal Security Officers, Regional Police Commanders, Officers from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, LCV Chairpersons and Mayors, Regional CID and Crime Intelligence Officers, among others. The review meetings were held at Civil Service College for Busoga Region, Mt Elgon Hotel for Bugishu and Sebei Regions, and at Soroti University for Teso and Karamoja Regions.
