Buganda Road Chief Magistrate's court has remanded Kenneth Niwamanya, 24, to Luzira prison on charges of forging the signature of First Lady Janet Kataha Museveni.
Niwamanya, a resident of Bulenga in Wakiso district, appeared before chief magistrate Ronald Kayizzi on Wednesday afternoon.
The court was informed that Niwamanya allegedly forged letters bearing the scanned signature of the First Lady, who also serves as the minister of Education and Sports, in an attempt to appoint her as the patron of his organization, Umoja Youth Initiative Development Uganda.
Niwamanya is accused of using the forged letters to solicit funds from various offices for a function at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds. Despite denying the charges, Niwamanya was unable to secure bail due to a lack of sureties.
His legal troubles began on August 22, 2024, when he was arrested at the ministry of Education offices in Kampala with forged documents.
The court has remanded Niwamanya to Luzira prison until September 23, pending the completion of police investigations.
