O/C Kiwawu police post is on the spot over corruption after she was quoted proudly saying that she milks millions from Ugandans to give them services, shamelessly adding that it is that money that buys her airtime and facilitates her office.
Kiwawu police post is in Kiwawu Parish, Malangala Subcounty, Mityana District and the O/C in this shame is none other than Nyangoma Gertrude.
Her dirty linen came to the spotlight when the area Deputy Resident Commissioner (D/RDC) Prossy Mwanjuzi tried to intervene in a certain matter where a wanainchi names withheld was being frustrated because he had refused to cough a bribe to the ‘greedy and money minded’ O/C.
In a leaked voice note, Mwanjuzi is heard politely asking Nyangoma (O/C) why she was frustrating the ‘Museveni’s Muzzukulu’ and why she was disrespectfully not listening to her as an RDC who is the appointee of the President and head of the security in the district.
In response, a seemingly powerful and indeed very proud Nyangoma trashes Mwanjuzi informing her that if she wishes she can go and fire her from O/C office adding that she has seen a lot and doesn’t care about anything.
”Am urging dear the way you talk to our people is not good, handle things professionally and stop disrespecting us as leaders, let’s work professionally for the betterment of our people because they expect good services from us not frustrations,” Mwanjuzi humbly tells Nyangoma; in response, the O/C furiously states,” You have an office I have an office, if you wish come and sit in mine as well. I also need money from those people to facilitate my office and even buy me airtime. In, fact, we have seen it all, come and fire me from this office if you think you can, we have seen it all don’t stress me! hangs up the call.
In the same voice note, Nyangoma drags the Mityana District Police Commander into the dirt, stating that the DPC knows all her heartless corruption acts and she is fully protected.
”You can go ahead and even tell the DPC because is ok with me and knows why I charge money from people. Do what you want i have given you enough options,” Nyangoma further fumed at RDC Mwanjuzi.
According to our sources, this very O/C was recently before the Police’s Professional Standards Unit (PSU) over similar circumstances, and residents in Mityana have since called upon the Police bosses in Naguru to save them from such an arrogant officer whose aim is to fill her belly with corruption instead of serving the nation.
”This lady is totally a big barrier to us, you run to her office expecting a service, when you reach, she talks to you very terribly as if you wronged her, but all Mityana people have now come to know that she does all those to frustrate you until you give her money, i have a friend when he reached there she told him ‘go Museveni handles your matter if you don’t want to pay money,’ can you imagine; I am telling you facts and am ready to go and pin her in case am called, we are fed up with that lady,” said a 63yr old woman in Kamuli on condition of anonymity adding that same O/C works with a cartel of land grabbers who usually cough millions to her for assistance in pushing their deals. LISTEN TO NYANGOMA BELOW RESPONDING TO D/RDC MWANJUZI

Corruption within the Ugandan police force is a significant obstacle hindering the country’s progress by undermining trust in law enforcement and the justice system. This systemic corruption contributes to the perpetuation of impunity, where criminals are sometimes able to evade justice through bribery, leaving victims vulnerable.
