The committee reported 394 missing railway wagons, wagon sales in Tanzania and Uganda it could not reconcile, and questionable spending under a Spanish-funded capacity-building programme. It also asked the Auditor General for a value-for-money audit of about Shs 700 million spent levelling a concrete sleeper factory site.
