Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82775, member: 636"] Police just cracked down on Uganda Airlines for allegedly torching millions on bad deals. The Criminal Investigations Directorate teamed up with the State House Anti-Corruption Unit to grill senior officials over abuse of office and embezzlement claims. Detective Superintendent Winnifred Nakatudde demanded banking records and procurement files from CEO Jennifer Bamuturaki to chase down the truth. Investigators want to know why management pushed for Boeing jets despite technical teams hating the idea. The original business plan favored Airbus, yet higher-ups allegedly ignored advice to force this switch. Detectives requested minutes showing how the board approved these purchases when experts warned against them. Things get worse with a plan to buy an ancient freighter for cargo runs. Internal docs suggest the price mysteriously jumped from twenty million dollars to thirty-one million after brokers got involved. Reports indicate the engines on this twenty-two-year-old bird were totally shot and needed expensive repairs immediately. Cops are also eyeing fuel suppliers like Mixjet Flight Support Services and Associated Energy Group over pricing weirdness. Even sketchier is the disappearance of over nine million dollars in service fees. Auditors found that agents kept charging customers fees that were supposedly scrapped, and that money seemingly vanished. The probe extends to Nyanza Tours regarding allegations of insider ticket scalping. Audits previously showed staff-linked agencies hogging cheap seats to mess with revenue. Authorities aim to verify if cash from the London route launch and other sales actually made it into the company bank accounts. [/QUOTE]
