A court in Kabale threw out a theft case against a former political worker. Mary Paula Turyahikayo Kebirungi and her husband accused Angello Twinomuhangi Bagorogoza of stealing money from them. The former MP said he took 440 million shillings from her bank account without permission. Police arrested Bagorogoza in March 2022 after the couple filed complaints. He used to work as Turyahikayo's assistant until December 2020.
The judge said the couple could not prove their claims about the missing money. Justice Ssemogerere Kaloli Lwanga ruled that both sides must pay their legal bills. He told the former MP and her husband to file a different type of lawsuit about the money dispute. The court found no strong evidence that Bagorogoza committed theft. Prosecutors could not show he stole funds meant for buying land.
Bagorogoza said the case was fake and based on politics rather than real crimes. He switched sides to support a different politician named Namanya Naboth after leaving his job. The former assistant believes his old boss made up the theft story because she was angry about his political choice. He thanked God for the court victory and called the accusations false.
