Anti-Corruption Court Judge Margaret Tibulya has ordered him to file his Defence on July 10th because the evidence adduced against requires him to explain how the funds were lost.
Onegi Obel is accused of abuse of office and causing a financial loss of Shs 8bn shillings to government which he allegedly committed between 2003 and 2005.
