The Anti-Corruption Court has remanded four senior officials from Kalungu District to Luzira Prison over allegations of causing a financial loss of more than 531 million shillings to the Government of Uganda.
The officials appeared before Chief Magistrate Peter Fred Lochomin, who ordered their remand and directed that they return to court on July 10, 2026, for the mention of their case.
The accused are Rose Nalumansi, the interdicted Chief Administrative Officer (CAO); Biggwa Ismail Twaha, the Chief Finance Officer (CFO); Nakanwagi Sylvia Grace, the District Education Officer (DEO); and Muhangi James, the Acting District Engineer. The four were previously arrested by the Inspectorate of Government (IG).
They face multiple charges, including causing financial loss, embezzlement, abuse of office, money laundering, and neglect of duty. Prosecutors allege that the offences resulted in significant financial and administrative setbacks for Kalungu District.
According to investigations, the officials, while serving in their respective capacities during the 2024/2025 financial year, allegedly failed to effectively oversee, verify, and monitor the renovation of selected schools in the district.
Investigators contend that the accused either knew or had reason to believe that their actions and omissions would result in financial loss to the government.
The Inspectorate of Government alleges that their negligence led to a loss of shillings 531,596,368 in public funds.
The case is part of ongoing efforts by the Inspectorate of Government to strengthen accountability, combat corruption, and protect public resources.
”It further demonstrates the resolve of the institution to investigate and address syndicated corruption within the public service, ensuring that those entrusted with public responsibility are held accountable for their actions.” IGG said in the statement on X account
The government of Uganda loses approximately shillings 10 trillions to corruption and financial leakages every year.
The Inspectorate of Government notes that these losses account for about 44% of total annual government revenues, severely crippling public service delivery.
