Police investigate Kyotera pastor for extorting money from PDM beneficiaries

Police in Kyotera District are still holding a Pentecostal pastor, Deo Muganzi, who was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly soliciting bribes from beneficiaries of the Parish Development Model (PDM) program.

Muganzi, who is a senior pastor at Kyanika Fire Deliverance Church in Kabira Sub County, was arrested at Bwemijja Village on orders of the state Minister for Microfinance, Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo.

According to the Kyotera District police commander, Mr Hassan Musooba, the criminal investigation department is still gathering evidence against Muganzi.

"Our investigations are still ongoing, and when we are done, he will be produced in court," Musooba said in an interview on Friday.

It remains unclear whether all the complainants will present themselves to police to record statements. Muganzi is still being held at Kyotera Central Police Station, despite the constitutional requirement to produce detained suspects in court within 48 hours of arrest.
