Following his election as new Bukomansimbi South Member of Parliament, newly-sworn MP Hon. Hassan Mukiibi Sserunjogi declared war on corruption, vowing to crack down on district officials accused of embezzling public funds within his first 100 days in office.
The independent legislator, who unseated NUP’s Geoffrey Kayemba Solo, said his victory marked the beginning of “rebuilding Bukomansimbi” after years of failed leadership, pledging to channel public resources toward women, youth and essential services instead of political luxury.
Less than a month following his swearing in, in a rather interesting twist of events, Hon. Sserunjogi could be arrested soon and even lose his parliamentary seat if found guilty.
President Yoweri Museveni has directed prosecution of Hon. Sserunjogi with bribery if there’s evidence linking him to the Shs31 billion Police CCTV scandal.
Yesterday, Museveni directed the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lt Gen Joseph Musanyufu, Undersecretary Aggrey Wunyi, and AIGP Felix Baryamwitsaki to go on forced leave for six months over an ongoing corruption investigation linked to the maintenance of Uganda’s national CCTV camera system.
In a May 23, 2026 directive addressed to the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Lucy Nakyobe Mbonye, Museveni said he had received a report from Major General Kahinda Otafiire regarding alleged corruption within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Uganda Police in relation to the maintenance of police surveillance cameras.
The President explained that the government had partnered with Chinese technology company Huawei to install road surveillance cameras to help combat rising crime. He noted that after Huawei faced sanctions from the United States and the European Union in 2019, the company shifted to relying on a private Ugandan firm for camera maintenance and repairs.
Museveni identified the company as Dealan Associates Limited, saying it had been selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to maintain the CCTV infrastructure. He added that despite the Ministry of Finance releasing UGX 31.37 billion for the works, the contractor was allegedly not paid because ministry officials, through Hon. Hassan Mukiibi Serunjoji working as a middleman demanded bribes.
The President ordered immediate administrative action against the implicated officials as investigations by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit continue. He directed Lt. Gen. Joseph Musanyufu and Aggrey Wunyi to proceed on forced leave for six months pending completion of the investigations. AIGP Felix Baryamwitsaki was also ordered to step aside temporarily. Museveni further instructed authorities to appoint an acting Permanent Secretary.
He also directed that Hassan Mukiibi Serunjojgi be prosecuted if sufficient evidence is established and ordered the government to settle outstanding payments owed to Barbara Katisi of Dealan Associates Limited.
This new development on Hassan Mukiibi Sserunjogi has caused widespread shock among those who know him since he has always portrayed himself as Mr. Clean.
Back in Bukomansimbi, Kibinge Sub-county, Budda village, Sserunjogi has been known as an inspiration figure with his poultry project a model farm for the district as a practical example of self-reliance, and economic empowerment.
Once touted as youthful politician who embodies a leadership style rooted in productivity, self-reliance, and lived experience, this latest bribery scandal will come as a huge taint to his name.
Born to the late Hajji Kasim Mukiibi and Aisha Namukasa, Sserunjogi grew up in the village where survival often depends on the land. He began his education at Budda Church of Uganda Primary School, later attending St Charles Lwanga Primary School Kyabakuza and Kawempe Muslim Secondary School.
He went on to study law at Makerere University and earned a degree in Global Diplomacy in the United Kingdom.
