Akampulira Isaac Rukanda, a director of Detail Security Company Ltd, has been charged with storing minerals without a licence and mixing minerals with intent to defraud.
Akampulira was arraigned at Kajjansi Chief Magistrates Court by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
