IGG issues arrest warrant for former UNBS boss Ebiru

"Whereas David Livingstone Ebiru was ordered to appear before the Inspectorate of Government at 2:00 p.m. on the 21st day of July, 2023, and subsequent days to testify what he knew and/or furnish information in relation to the above-stated inquiry, he failed to turn up and did not communicate why he failed to respond to the summons," Twinomugisha's summons said.

The summons continues, "Now, therefore, you are hereby ordered by this warrant to apprehend, bring, or have the said Mr. David Livingstone Ebiru brought before the Inspectorate of Government."

Ebiru admitted to the Parliament's Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises (COSASE) on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, that he paid sh100 million to the National Standards Council (NSC) to keep his job as UNBS chairman.

He, however, reversed this statement, reassuring that the bribery claims he had levelled against his employer, NCS chairperson Charles Musekuura, and other members of the Council were vented in fury.

Ebiru is accused of causing a loss of Government funds amounting to sh12.5 billion and shielding five employees under his supervision, who are also accused of causing a financial loss of sh9.28 billion.
