FIA deputy director says frozen NGO accounts will be unfrozen once transactions are explained

Financial Intelligence Authority deputy executive director Lazarus Mukasa told the Daily Monitor that the freeze on NGO bank accounts would be lifted once the organisations provide documents clearing suspicions about their transactions. He said FIA does not single out NGOs, which he said make up 2 percent of frozen account holders. The African Institute for Investigative Journalism, one of the affected organisations, said it was submitting the files FIA had requested.
