Salim Swaleh among high-ranking officials arrested for allegedly facilitating fraud at Prime CS Mudavadi’s Office
The Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs (PCS-MFDA) confirmed the arrest of several high-ranking officials within the ministry following a crackdown on Saturday.
According to a press statement released by the ministry on Sunday, Salim Swaleh, who serves as the Director of the Press service at the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary (OPCS) was arrested for alleged involvement in corruption activities.
According to Mudavadi’s office, the officials had become adept at the illegal trade which included having the officials switch out nametags on doors to further deceive unsuspecting victims.
The ministry further detailed that the arrests followed a tipoff that alerted OPCS-MFDA security, who then mounted intense surveillance at the OPCS-MFDA Railways Office to disrupt the reported acts of impersonation and misuse of the facility by the fraudsters.
