The National Agricultural Advisory Services together with the police are investigating the loss of over 5bn shillings meant for various NADDS programs.
According to the Executive Director NAADs Dr Samuel Mugasi, the money was lost in the districts of Masaka, Rakai and Lyantonde among others.
He says the money was meant for the supply of improved seeds and training of farmers.

However in most cases the seeds that were supplied were of low quality while in other cases nothing was supplied at all.
Mugasi says though that the NAADS task force has already recovered 3bn shillings from the districts of Kanungu, Luwero and Mbarara among others.
He adds that prosecution of the officials involved will be done soon and those found guilty shall be brought to book.
He was speaking during an annual review of the program held in Kampala.
