The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU), in collaboration with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), has arraigned two Luuka District officials before the Iganga Chief Magistrate’s Court on charges related to fuel theft and conspiracy to commit a felony.
The accused are identified as Rajab Musisi, the Acting District Engineer, and Daniel Sengoba, the Assistant Engineering Officer (Civil).
In a statement released on Monday, December 22nd, 2025, the Anti-Corruption Unit revealed that both are alleged to have misappropriated fuel worth UGX 222,396,900, which was allocated for road maintenance projects under the UGX 1 billion Road Maintenance Grant for the financial year 2024/2025.
According to prosecution, the two, together with Bernard Kayeyera, an Assistant Engineer currently on the run, diverted fuel meant for several road projects, including Busanda–Ikumbya, Busalamu–Waibuga, Ikumbya–Nantamali, Bukoova–Nawaka, and Kyanvuma–Wandago roads.
“The trio reportedly inflated fuel quantities required for each project, irregularly drew the fuel, or issued it to private individuals unrelated to the works,” Prosecution noted.
Investigations further revealed that the suspects colluded with fuel station managers to falsify accountability documents indicating that the fuel had been issued to Works Department drivers, who later denied receiving or using the said fuel.
In a related development, George Muduuli, the Head Teacher of Tabingwa Primary School, has also been charged with extortion.
Muduuli is accused of soliciting and receiving between UGX 5.7 million and UGX 17 million from several job applicants during recruitment exercises in Luuka District, allegedly claiming that the money was meant for members of the District Service Commission to secure jobs for them.
Authorities confirmed that investigations into the possible involvement of District Service Commission members and other implicated officials are still ongoing.
All the accused persons have been remanded until January 8, 2026, as investigations continue.
