A district councilor representing Ngondwe Sub County in Namutumba district has been sent to jail for failure to pay a shillings 8 million debt.
The accused, Jude Tadeo Musana reportedly borrowed shillings 8 million from a prominent businessman in Iganga, Isaac Busangwa in order to facilitate his campaigns in 2016 but has up to now failed to pay his money back.
