Mugenyi was on Thursday arraigned before the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). He faces charges of forgery and fraudulent procurement of a certificate of title.

Mugenyi becomes the latest public official to be implicated in the case, joining Acting Commissioner for Mapping and Surveys, Kakooza Jasper, and nine others who were previously charged in connection with the same land fraud scheme.
