Such skills ensure that charges are properly framed before files are forwarded to court. Staff was trained on standardizing the collection and preservation of physical assets. These will include assets such as confiscated illegal slot machines and tracking financial trails from unlawful activities. They were also reminded of their legal operations and responsibilities.
Speaking at the forum Dr Daisy Nabasitu, Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions at ODPP, noted, “Effective prosecution of gaming and lottery offences depends on credible evidence and proper procedure. Investigations must comply with the Constitution and applicable Laws.“
Representing the CEO, the Board’s Senior Manager Legal and Board Affairs, Ms Deborah Kituyi, complemented Daisy by insisting that the training will strengthen institutional capacity in investigations, case file management, evidence handling, witness statement recording, and chain of custody procedures, which enhance enforcement actions and reinforce public confidence.
The workshop directly supports Uganda’s nationwide inter-agency enforcement campaign specifically targeting the #MashineHaramu initiative.
