The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SHACU), working with the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), has arraigned Muyomba Ashiraf, 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 has been remanded until 10th December 2025.
According to prosecution, between December 2024 and April 2025, at Minister’s Village, Ntinda in Nakawa Division, Kampala District, Hongera Saana Uganda Ltd falsely presented itself as a Presidential Mobilization Body for Peace and Development under the Office of the President.
The organisation allegedly placed fraudulent bid advertisements in newspapers, inviting suppliers to provide various items. Muyomba is accused of identifying suppliers and entering into contracts with them, including: Nasali Shillo of Kisco International Limited and Kezimbira Isaac of K.K.N Enterprises Limited
The two suppliers were contracted to deliver goods worth nearly Shs 800 million.
After delivering the items to Hongera Saana Uganda’s offices in Minister’s Village, Ntinda, efforts to secure payment were unsuccessful.
The supplied goods included thousands of kilogrammes of maize, soya, groundnut and rice seeds, as well as posho, cooking oil, sugar, mattresses, metallic double-decker beds, farmate spray pumps, knapsacks, tear drops, branded T-shirts, umbrellas, caps, and branded backdrops.
Investigations later revealed that Hongera Saana Uganda has no affiliation whatsoever with the Office of the President, contradicting the claims made in the fraudulent procurement advertisements.
