Thirteen officials, including the Chief Engineer of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), have been remanded to prison over the alleged vandalism of electrical equipment worth Shs3.7 billion at Entebbe International Airport.
The suspects appeared before the Entebbe Chief Magistrate’s Court, where they were charged in connection with the alleged destruction of electrical installations at the airport.
Their arrest followed an operation by the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), working in coordination with the Minister of State for Works and Transport, Fred Byamukama.
Investigators reportedly uncovered irregularities involving electrical installations at the airport, leading to the arrest of the 13 officials.
The suspects were remanded to prison pending further court proceedings.
The case is expected to return to court for further mention as investigations continue.
