The State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working jointly with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), has arraigned Muyomba Ashiraf, the Executive Director of Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd, before the KCCA Chief Magistrate’s Court on charges of obtaining goods by false pretences, forgery, and uttering false documents. He has been remanded until 10th December 2025.
According to prosecutors, between December 2024 and April 2025, Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd, operating from Minister’s Village in Ntinda, Nakawa Division, Kampala, fraudulently presented itself as a Presidential Mobilisation Body for Peace and Development under the Office of the President.
The company allegedly placed misleading bid advertisements in newspapers, inviting suppliers to provide various goods.
Muyomba is accused of identifying unsuspecting suppliers and entering into contracts with them, including Nasali Shillo of Kisco International Limited and Kezimbira Isaac of K.K.N Enterprises Limited, who were contracted to supply items worth close to Shs 800 million.
After delivering the goods to the company’s offices in Ntinda, the suppliers’ attempts to secure payment reportedly failed.
The delivered items included thousands of kilograms of maize, soya, groundnut, and rice seeds; posho; cooking oil; sugar; mattresses; metallic double-decker beds; farmate spray pumps; knapsacks; tear drops; branded T-shirts; umbrellas; caps; and branded backdrops, among others.
Investigations further revealed that Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd had no affiliation whatsoever with the Office of the President, contradicting the claims made in the fraudulent bid advertisements.
