Auditor General report finds irregularities in Parish Development Model funds

According to The Independent, the Auditor General's 2025 annual audit report found that 2,336 households in 34 sampled local governments received Parish Development Model funds more than once, that 109 beneficiaries had non-existent projects, and that UGX 106.29 million withdrawn in 62 SACCOs could not be accounted for. Accounting officers attributed the problems to information system and capacity issues, while a Masaka District councillor alleged collusion that created ghost beneficiaries.
