Works Minister Byamukama says ministry officials own buildings valued for road compensation

Corruption & Abuse of Office Official claim Uganda (national) 14 Aug 2026 Severity: 1/5

Works and Transport Minister Fred Byamukama said the ministry had found that officials responsible for setting compensation rates own buildings along about 10 km of the Nakawuka–Nateete Road, and that similar cases occurred on the Kyaliwajjala–Kira–Matugga Road, according to ChimpReports. He said this made compensation on the Nakawuka–Nateete Road three times the construction cost, alleged payments for titles created in wetlands and attempted bribery, and said the officials would be arrested.

A national event, not tied to one district.

Official claim: These are the figures given by Minister of Works and Transport Fred Byamukama (ministry findings and report); they could not be checked independently.
