The KCCA Chief Magistrate’s Court has charged and remanded the Executive Director of Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd, Muyomba Ashiraf over charges of obtaining goods by false pretence, forgery, and uttering false documents.
The accused was paraded in court on December 3, 2025 and remanded until 10th December, 2025.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit that is prosecuting the case, Muyomba between December 2024 and April 2025, while at the Minister’s Village, Ntinda in Nakawa Division, Kampala District presented Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd as a Presidential Mobilization Body for Peace and Development under the Office of the President.
In the process he fraudulently advertised a bid notice in the newspapers inviting suppliers for various goods. Muyomba identified suppliers and proceeded to enter into contracts with them including, Ms. Nasali Shillo of Kisco International Limited and Mr. Kezimbira Isaac of K.K.N Enterprises Limited, who were contracted to supply goods worth close to Shs800 million.
It’s reported that upon delivering the goods to the Hongera Saana Uganda offices in Ntinda Minister’s Village, the suppliers’ efforts to secure payment have been unsuccessful.
The delivered items included; thousands of kilograms of maize, soya, groundnut, and rice seeds, posho, cooking oil, sugar, mattresses, metallic double beds, farmate spray pumps, knapsacks, tear drops, branded T-shirts, umbrellas, and caps, and branded backdrops, among others.
The suppliers say all attempts to secure payment for the delivered goods have been unsuccessful.
Investigations further revealed that Hongera Saana Uganda had no affiliation or relationship with the Office of the President, contradicting the claims made in the fraudulent bid advertisement.
Muyomba was remanded until December 10th when he returns to court for further hearing of charges against him.
