Police in Hoima are holding a cleaner attached to Butema Health Center III in Buhanika Sub County for allegedly selling COVID-19 vaccination cards to unvaccinated persons.

The suspect identified as Ivan Bigirwa was arrested last evening while allegedly executing the dubious business at Hoima Boma grounds in Hoima city.

It is alleged that the suspect connived with the Health Center III staff who issued the stamped COVID-19 vaccination cards to him for sale.

Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, says Bigirwa was arrested after a tip-off by a concerned citizen.

He was selling the cards at 50,000 and 100,000 shillings to his clients who always meet him at Hoima Boma grounds where he transacts his business.

Hakiza says currently, they have summoned all the staff at Butema Health Center III to go and record statements at Hoima central police station.
