The former National Social Security Fund (NSSF) managing director David Chandi Jamwa who was handed a 12-year jail sentence by the Anti-corruption court of Appeal on Monday has run to the Supreme Court to challenge the decision.

In the notice of appeal lodged today in the Supreme court’s criminal registry, Jamwa through his lawyer David Mpanga notes, he is dissatisfied with the decision of justices of Court of Appeal; Rubby Opio Aweri and Kenneth Kakuru of upholding and confirming the Anti-corruption court conviction and sentence.

The former deputy Chief Justice Steven Kavuma, now retired, acquitted Jamwa but did not sign his judgment or set the date for delivery which was faulted by Justice Kakuru who told court that the Jamwa judgment was ready by September 15, 2015.

During the conviction in the High Court in 2011, Justice Katutsi barred Jamwa from holding a public office for 10 years upon completion of his sentence all steaming from a financial loss of over 3 billion shilling he caused in the sale of NSSF bonds before their maturity.
