The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU), working jointly with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), has arraigned two senior officials from Kamuli District before the Anti-Corruption Court on charges of abuse of office and causing financial loss.
The accused are Mukiibi Nasser, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), and Kifuuse Alex, the Chief Finance Officer (CFO). The duo is alleged to have conspired with another suspect still at large to embezzle public funds intended for infrastructure development.
According to investigations, between May and June 2025, while serving in their respective capacities at Kamuli District Local Government, the accused abused the authority of their offices and carried out actions prejudicial to the interests of their employer by fraudulently processing and approving payments amounting to over UGX 600 million.
The payments were reportedly made to various suppliers, including Raven Knights Ltd, Total Uganda Limited, and Mufumba Daniel, the District Engineer. The funds were meant to facilitate the procurement of fuel, construction materials, diversion and traffic control signs, as well as allowances for rehabilitation works on the Nawanyago–Kisozi Road.
Investigations, however, indicate that the planned works for the 2024/2025 financial year were never executed, despite the full disbursement of funds.
The accused officials have since been remanded and are expected to return to court on January 20, 2026, as investigations continue.
