The Anti-Corruption Court has remanded four senior officials from Kalungu District to Luzira Prison over allegations of causing financial loss of more than Shs 500 million to the Government.
The officials were presented before Chief Magistrate Lochomin Peter Fred, who ordered that the quartet remain in custody and return to Court on July 10, 2026, for the mention of their case.
Those remanded include Rose Nalumansi, the interdicted Chief Administrative Officer (CAO); Ismail Twaha Biggwa, the Chief Finance Officer (CFO); Grace Slyvia Nakanwagi, the District Education Officer (DEO); and James Muhangi, the Acting District Engineer.
The four officials were earlier arrested by the Inspectorate of Government.
They are accused of embezzlement, abuse of office, money laundering, and neglect of duty, offences that allegedly resulted in significant financial and administrative setbacks for Kalungu District.
According to investigations, Rose Nalumansi, Ismael Twaha Biggwa, Grace Slyvia Nakanwagi, and James Muhangi, during the Financial Year 2024/2025 while serving as CAO, CFO, DEO, and Acting District Engineer of Kalungu District Local Government respectively, are alleged to have failed to effectively oversee, verify, and monitor the process of renovation of selected schools in the district.
It is further alleged that they acted with knowledge or reason to believe that their actions would cause financial loss to the Government of Uganda, resulting in an estimated loss of about Shs 531.6 million.
The remand of the officials underscores the Inspectorate of Government’s continued commitment to strengthening accountability, combating corruption, and safeguarding 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.
