The Anti-Corruption Court has remanded four senior officials from Kalungu District to Luzira Prison over allegations of causing a financial loss of more than sh531m to the Government of Uganda.
Chief Magistrate Peter Lochomin on Wednesday ordered the officials to remain on remand until July 10, 2026, when they will return to court for the mention of their case.
The accused are Rose Nalumansi, the interdicted Chief Administrative Officer (CAO); Biggwa Ismail Twaha, the Chief Finance Officer (CFO); Nakanwagi Sylvia Grace, the District Education Officer (DEO); and Muhangi James, the Acting District Engineer.
The four officials were earlier arrested by the Inspectorate of Government (IGG) and face multiple charges, including causing financial loss, embezzlement, abuse of office, money laundering and neglect of duty.

According to investigators, the officials allegedly failed to effectively supervise, verify and monitor the renovation of selected schools in Kalungu District during the 2024/2025 financial year, despite their respective responsibilities as accounting and technical officers.
Prosecutors allege that their actions, or failure to act, resulted in a loss of sh531,596,368 to the Government of Uganda.
Investigations indicate that the suspects either knew, or had reason to believe, that inadequate oversight of the projects would lead to financial loss, but neglected their duties nonetheless.
The Inspectorate of Government said the case highlights its continued efforts to combat corruption, strengthen accountability and protect public resources from abuse.
The anti-graft body also noted that the prosecution demonstrates its resolve to dismantle what it described as syndicated corruption within public institutions and ensure that public servants are held accountable for actions that undermine service delivery.
The case is expected to resume on July 10, 2026, when court will mention the matter and provide further directions regarding the proceedings.
If convicted, the accused could face substantial penalties under Uganda’s anti-corruption laws.
