The Anti-Corruption Court has remanded four senior officials from Kalungu District Local Government to Luzira Prison over allegations of causing financial loss of more than UGX 531 million to the Government of Uganda.
Chief Magistrate Peter Fred Lochomin ordered the officials to return to court on July 10, 2026, for the mention of their case.
The accused include the interdicted Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Rose Nalumansi; Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Ismail Twaha Biggwa; District Education Officer (DEO), Sylvia Grace Nakanwagi; and Acting District Engineer, James Muhangi.
The four officials were earlier arrested by the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) and face several charges, including embezzlement, abuse of office, money laundering, and neglect of duty.
According to investigations, the accused allegedly failed to effectively oversee, verify, and monitor the renovation of selected schools in Kalungu District during the 2024/2025 financial year. Prosecutors contend that their actions, or failure to act, resulted in a financial loss of UGX 531,596,368 to the Government of Uganda.
The Inspectorate of Government says the case highlights its ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability, combat corruption, and protect public resources from misuse.
The prosecution further argues that the proceedings demonstrate the government’s commitment to investigating and addressing corruption within public institutions and ensuring that public officials are held accountable for their actions.
