MP Abdu Katuntu the Chair of the Committee.

The Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (CCOSASE) recently pinned the former Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) directors for forging contract documents in the awarding of a 138 billion shillings contract.

According to the auditor general’s report of 2013/14 there was variation on the dates of signing and awarding contracts meant for the construction of Vurra-Arua-Koboko-Araba road.

Auditor general report also indicated that within the contract document a page was missing and a different unedited page was inserted which may have caused price fluctuations.

This caused the committee members while meeting the old team of UNRA headed by Eng.Kimeze Ssebuga to get suspicious of corruption connivance amongst UNRA officials and directing UNRA serving boss, Allen Kagina, to submit the contract documents for scrutiny by the committee.

The Chairperson of the Committee who is also Bugweri County MP, Abdul Katuntu, said that the contract in question should be subjected to a legal audit when given to parliament by UNRA boss by Friday this week.
