Police arrested Asaph Nahurira Mulindwa for allegedly stealing money from tech entrepreneur Gloria Kamira Lukalu. Officers suspect Mulindwa helped run a scam worth 1 billion shillings against the Ugandan-American business owner. Kamira wanted to invest $250,000 in digital training centers for young people. She claims fraudsters pretended to work with government programs to trick her. The arrest marks the first major step in solving this high-profile case.
Kamira runs Exutory Africa and returned to Uganda hoping to create jobs for youth. She says crooks used names of powerful officials like General Salim Saleh to make their lies believable. The suspects allegedly connected themselves to Operation Wealth Creation to gain her trust. Kamira lost 80 million shillings but says the real damage goes beyond money. She believes the fraud hurt chances to train young Ugandans for technology careers.
Mulindwa posted on social media about working with Kamira before his arrest. He wrote about escorting her to a motorcycle taxi union meeting in Gulu. The post shows Kamira speaking to riders about avoiding drugs and domestic violence. Police sources confirm Mulindwa remains under investigation for his role in the alleged scheme.
Kamira urged young Ugandans to fight corruption and demand better leaders. She told diaspora professionals not to give up on helping their homeland despite her bad experience. Police have not said if they plan to arrest other suspects in the case.
