Soroti municipality MP Mike Mukula was sentenced to four years in prison after he was found guilty of embezzling of Shs 210m of the Global Alliance Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) funds.

Mukula signed for Shs 263m on behalf of the First Lady, Janet Museveni, which money was part of GAVI funds donated to Uganda for treatment of children infected with HIV/Aids, malaria and tuberculosis.

In this Gavi scandal up 1.6 billion shillings were allegedly misappropriated under the nose of Jim Muhwezi as Minister for Health,  Dr Alex Kamugisha State Minister for Primary Healthcare and Mukula.

Mukula’s supporters were in tears and Mukula called this political persecution and selective justice.
