COSASE orders police to obtain bank statements of UHRC staff over commission funds paid to personal accounts

Parliament's Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises questioned Uganda Human Rights Commission director Pauline Nansamba Mutumba over her promotions, multiple roles and the closure of complaints. According to URN, the committee directed the Police CID at Parliament to obtain 2024/2025 bank statements for accounts of two staff members into which commission activity funds had been deposited, and asked both to record statements with police. Commissioners told MPs they had not collectively decided on all case closures, while Ms Mutumba said the power to close cases rests with the commission.
