Kampala — The State House Anti-Corruption Unit, working jointly with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), has arraigned Muyomba Ashiraf, the Executive Director of Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd, before the KCCA Chief Magistrate’s Court on charges of obtaining goods by false pretence, forgery and uttering false documents.
Muyomba was remanded to Luzira Prison until December 10, 2025 as investigations into the matter continue.
According to the Prosecutions,it is alleged that between December 2024 and April 2025, at Minister’s Village in Ntinda, Nakawa Division, Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd falsely presented itself as a Presidential Mobilisation Body for Peace and Development under the Office of the President. Using this false identity, the company allegedly published fraudulent bid notices in national newspapers, inviting suppliers to provide a variety of goods.
Muyomba is said to have identified and contracted several suppliers, including Ms. Nasali Shillo of Kisco International Ltd and Mr. Kezimbira Isaac of K.K.N Enterprises Ltd, to supply goods valued at close to Ugx 800 million.
The suppliers delivered the items to Hongera Saana’s offices in Ntinda. The goods included maize, soya, groundnut and rice seeds, posho, cooking oil, sugar, mattresses, metallic double beds, knapsack sprayers, farmate spray pumps, T-shirts, umbrellas, caps, branded backdrops and other assorted items.
However, all attempts by the suppliers to obtain payment for the delivered goods proved futile.
