It’s now four years ever since leaked documents pinning former Bank of Uganda Deputy Governor Louis Kasekende came to public attention showing how he transferred 12 plots of land into names of his driver Moses Musitwa in an effort to dodge the scrutiny of the Inspector General of Government (IGG).

The IGG among other mechanisms used the Leadership Code Act 2002, to catch senior public officials who may have involved in corruption to grow wealth however, it’s shocking that two years down the road, government has not taken measures to bring to book the main culprit even after thorough Investigation.

According to the document, Dr. Kasekende transferred the properties to the names of his driver on January 31, 2018.

The document says Kasekende had 35 properties in his names yet he only declared to IGG six properties.

The leaked documents show that much as Kasekende transferred the properties into names of his driver Musitwa, there is no evidence to show that the deputy governor sold the plots to the latter.

The plots are located in Busiro on Block 314. They are plots No. 6090, 6091, 6092, 6093, 6094, 6095, 6096, 6097, 6098, 6099, 6100 and 6101. The plots range from 0.0450-0.0590 hectares.

However, sources dealing with this matter say nil value of properties was indicated on the transfer form from, raising questions how the properties could be registered with such anomaly.

On the consent to transfer form dated February 1, 2018 indicates that a consideration of Shs3 million was indicated as the value for all the 12 properties.

The document also shows Kasekende owns seven plots of land in; Makindu Lane, Buloba (4 plots), Bokoto Rise and Lower Naguru East Road. The document also shows his brother Herman Kasekende also owns six plots in Nama, Birongo, Lukuli (2 plots), Munyonyo and Kisugu.

It further shows other individuals also owning land; Martin Kasekende with land in Kiruddu, Kyambogo View Street. It also shows Harriet L. Kasekende owning plot 990 Kiwatule, Mengo, George Kasekende with land at Mpererwe, Barbara Kahubire also has at Munyonyo. The document also shows businessman Karim Hirj on plot 990 at Munyonyo.

The plots Kasekende that were never declared are; Plot 38 (0.157 hectares) in Lower Naguru on East road worth Shs1.280 billion, Plot 1423 on block 314 in Buloba worth Shs432 million.

Others whose value is not quoted are; Plot 1738 (0.809 hectares), Plot 3213 (0.079 hectares), plot 1427 (3.647 hectares), plot 184 (2.7 hectares), plot 1754 (1.624 hectares) and plot 6102 (0.317 hectares). All the plots are on block 314 in Buloba.
