The anti-corruption unit confirmed the arrest in a tweet on Sunday evening.
“Mr. Sirajje Ssemanda of Revival Ministries Church, Bombo has been arrested for allegedly defrauding over 400 private school owners and thousands of parents of vulnerable children, over UGX4Bn on promises of getting them scholarships, trips abroad and connecting them to Operation Wealth Creation,” they tweeted.
It is alleged that Pastor Ssemanda connived with Pastor Franklin Mugisha Mondo and Presidential Advisor on Kampala Affairs Catherine Kusasira to swindle over 4 billion from the victims by promising them trips abroad and connecting them to income generating schemes under Operation Wealth Creation. They also promised to take them to President Yoweri Museveni for a meeting.
On Saturday, a group of pastors under their umbrella body- Hands Across the World petitioned Lt Col Edith Nakalema, the State House Anti-Corruption Unit Head accusing Kusasira, Mondo and Ssemanda of soliciting from them over Shs4 billion.
