The leaked bank details showed that Ms Bagyenda’s account had a balance of Shs19,302,441,183.

In their apology, DTB says the figures reflected in the leaked bank details were grossly distorted by one of their staff – the bank also said it was embarrassed by the regrettable and inconveniencing incident.

“Management carried out an extensive investigation and established that one of the staff was compromised to access Ms Bagyenda’s account in the bank’s system. Confidential details relating to the accounts were leaked to outsiders and apparently used to create grossly distorted allegations about Ms Bagyenda’s alleged account balances… The bank wishes to unreservedly apologise to Mrs. Justice Bagyenda for the inconvenience and embarrassment that this regrettable incident has caused to her,” part of the statement read.
