Emma Katto
From UgandaWiki: The Uganda Online Encyclopedia
Emma Katto (b. 1958) is a Ugandan racing driver and businessman. He started rallying in 1984 but it wasn't until 10 years later in 1994 that he worn his first national rally championship. He won the title again in 1996 and 1997. He was crowned Sportsman of the Year by the Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) in 1997.
As a businessman, his life has been more checkered. He was accused of supplying "junk" military helicopters to the government in 1996 and offering bribes to top government officials to secure the contract. The deal became the subject of a judicial commission of enquiry, resulting in Katto's prosecution. He was acquitted in June 2005.
