All isn’t well with Mbale district chairman, Bernard Mujasi as he has been conned Shs600million in a gold deal scandal.
It is reported that Mr Mujasi was approached by a group of people claiming to be dealing in gold and the old man luring him to pay some money and signing transfer forms for his Eldima Hotel.
After Mujasi realized that he had been conned when a fake bar of gold was unveiled to him and upon unwrapping, he started to make noise that attracted neighbors as the dealers took off with money and the signed transfer forms of his Eldima hotel. Mujasi ran to police and reported the incident requesting police to remain tight lipped as the matter should go to public. Police has started investigations but Mujasi is unsure of recovering his money.
This is another scandal involving gold scandals as Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces political commissar, Col. Felix Kulaigye is allegedly to have been conned in the same manner.
