A Kampala City based businessman has been arraigned before Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court on allegations of defrauding a Turkish Company of Shs2.2B in fertilizer deal.
Muwonge Ibrahim alias Ibra appeared before the court today, Monday, May 11, 2026 where he was charged with Obtaining Goods by False Pretence, Electronic Fraud, Forgery, Uttering False Documents, and Conspiracy to Commit a Felony. He has been remanded until 28th May 2026.
According to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, Ibra between February and December 2023, together with others still at large, using a company identified as Kureha (U) Ltd, duped a Turkish company, Iskenderun Fertilizer Inc., into sending 28 containers, each containing 540 bags of fertilizer valued at over UGX 2.2 billion, to Uganda.
Upon receipt of the goods, Muwonge and his accomplices allegedly cut off communication with the company and placed the fertilizers on the market for sale.
