A teacher, Mr. Samuel Kangavve, has been ordered by the Anti-Corruption Court to refund UGX 31,663,435 after pleading guilty to causing financial loss and impersonation.
Mr. Kangavve appeared before the Court on 11th September 2026 in Uganda v Kangavve Samuel, HCT-00-AC-CO-0107-2026 and pleaded guilty to both charges. He was convicted on his own plea of guilty.
The Court fined him UGX. 3,300,000 or two years’ imprisonment in default for causing financial loss, and UGX. 1,000,000 or one year’s imprisonment in default for personation. He was also barred from holding public office for 10 years and ordered to refund the full amount of the financial loss caused to Government.
The case followed an investigation by the Inspectorate of Government which established that Mr. Kangavve committed impersonation by using the identity and employment documents of his brother, Mutyaba Eria Paulo, who had been offered a Government teaching position but did not take it up. Mr. Kangavve took up the position under his brother’s name while also working and receiving a Government salary under his own name.
The Inspectorate of Government was represented by Mr. William Ntumwa, Principal Inspectorate Officer, Mr. Jason Arinda and Ms. Milly Namuwanga, both Inspectorate Officers.
