A brother to the Chief of Military Intelligence (CMI), Col. Nobel Mayombo, has
disappeared after accumulating debts of over Shs900 million.
Sources at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) told The Monitor at the
weekend they had received complaints related to Mr Dan Rabwoni.
CID chief, Ms Elizabeth Kuteesa, said her office had received complaints from
several businessmen in Kampala who claimed Rabwoni had disappeared after
failing to pay his debts.
The Acting Commissioner for Crime, Mr Edison Mbiringi, said complaints against
Rabwoni relate to issuance of false cheques which were not honoured by banks.
A relative told The Monitor on Friday Rabwoni had been missing for about a
month.
Mr Abraham Rabwoni, a brother to Dan, said by telephone, "Yes it is true he
disappeared. We used to work together at Shell but now it is a month or two
since I last saw him. I don't know and I can't tell where he is."
Mbiringi said they had recorded complaints of claims amounting to over Shs900
million.
Kutesa said, "We are aware of the complaints. He has been missing and it has
been reported to Police."
"In as much as some people have been able to come up and say how much he owes
them, there are others who have complained but do not want to reveal figures.
They still hope he will come back and pay them," Kuteesa said.
Rabwoni is believed to have fled to the UK.
Police said the Managing Director of RedFox Forex Bureau, Mr Dave Makendra, had
filed a complaint in which he alleges that Rabwoni gave him a false cheque of
Shs50 million. The cheque was to be drawn on Stanbic Bank, IPS building branch.
Redfox is opposite Shell Capital where Rabwoni runs a tyre clinic business. He
also deals in cellphone business, The Monitor has learnt.
Asked to confirm the figures, Kuteesa said, "We need to quantify all those
complaints. There are people who think they have been ripped off and there are
those who still think he is still organising himself to pay them. So we need to
separate those two."
