Police have said that State Minister for Karamoja, Agnes Nandutu has snubbed summons issued for her to appear before the Criminal Investigations Division headquarters in Kibuli.
Police spokesperson, Fred Enanga said yesterday that whereas Nandutu was expected to appear on Friday as a witness in the ongoing investigations at Kibuli, she didn’t show up but also didn’t provide a reason for not appearing.
The police spokesperson however urged all witnesses who have been summoned to respond to the summons but also cooperate with investigators.
Enanga however didn’t commit himself to the fate of the minister in case she totally refuses to appear at CID as summoned.
However, it is likely that on refusal, the minister risks arrest.
The Police spokesperson explained that the arrest of people implicated in the iron sheets scandal only depends on the advice of the DPP and the evidence against them.
President Museveni recently said he would take “a political” action against all those involved in the iron sheets scandal.
Other senior government officials implicated in the Karamoja iron sheet scandal include the Vice President Jessica Alupo, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja, Finance Minister, Matia Kasaija, Speaker of Parliament and Anita Among, among others.
