Uganda Corruption Exposed: The Rot Starts at the Top – How Museveni’s Inner Circle Is Looting Uganda Dry

Kampala, Uganda – Corruption in Uganda isn’t just a problem—it’s a state-sponsored enterprise, orchestrated from the very heart of power: State House. While ordinary Ugandans struggle with skyrocketing prices, unemployment, and crumbling public services, a kleptocratic elite, led by President Yoweri Museveni’s inner circle, is looting billions with impunity.

This isn’t speculation—it’s documented fact. From inflated contracts to stolen donor funds, Uganda’s corruption crisis is systemic, deliberate, and protected at the highest levels. And unless citizens rise up—using legal, civic, and digital resistance—this theft will continue unchallenged.

The Biggest Active Corruption Scandals Eating Uganda Alive

1. The Iron Sheets Scandal (2023) – When Relief Turns into Theft

What Happened?
Millions meant for Karamoja’s drought victims were diverted, with high-profile officials—including VP Jessica Alupo, PM Robinah Nabbanja, and Speaker Anita Among—accused of taking iron sheets for personal use.

Why It Matters:

No real prosecutions—only junior officials were scapegoated.

Museveni called it “a mistake”, shielding his allies.

Expert Quote:
“This scandal proves corruption isn’t just tolerated—it’s rewarded, as long as you’re loyal to the regime.” – Dr. Sarah Bireete, Civic Activist

2. The COVID-19 Funds Heist (2020) – Blood Money

What Happened?
Billions meant for the pandemic response were stolen by officials, including those in Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng’s ministry. Fake PPE, ghost beneficiaries, and inflated prices were the norm.

Why It Matters:

Deaths soared, while politicians profited.

Zero accountability—whistleblowers were silenced.

Expert Quote:
“When leaders steal during a global health crisis, they’ve lost every shred of humanity.” – Dr. Stella Nyanzi, Political Critic

3. The Lubowa Hospital Scandal (Ongoing) – $400M Ghost Project

What Happened?
A $400 million deal for a “specialized hospital” was signed, but no hospital exists—just an empty field. The money vanished, with Museveni’s direct approval.

Why It Matters:

Uganda’s debt balloons for a non-existent project.

No investigations—just defiance from State House.

Expert Quote:
“This isn’t just theft—it’s daylight robbery sanctioned at the highest level. Ugandans deserve answers and accountability, not more lies.” – Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi, Leader of Opposition

4. The Oil Sector Kickbacks – TotalEnergies & CNOOC Deals

What Happened?
Billions in oil revenues are being siphoned through secret agreements, with Museveni’s family and military elites controlling key deals.

Why It Matters:

Future generations are being robbed of their wealth.

Environmental and land rights abuses are ignored for profit.

Expert Quote:
“Uganda’s oil will be another curse—stolen by a few, leaving the people poorer.” – Dickens Kamugisha, Africa Institute for Energy Governance

The Museveni Household – Where Corruption Is Cultivated

General David Sejusa, a former regime insider, warned years ago:
“Corruption in Uganda is a monster with its own power base. It controls the police, judiciary, and military. Unless you cut off the head, it will keep growing.”

And the head is Museveni’s family:

First Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba – Running shadow businesses while positioning himself for power.

Brother Salim Saleh – A warlord-turned-billionaire, linked to mafia-style deals.

Wife Janet Museveni (Education Minister) – Overseeing vanishing education funds.

This isn’t governance—it’s a criminal enterprise disguised as a government.
