The public accounts committee (PAC) report which had been kept as a secret has finally leaked to the press.

The report recommends that the two ministers, Syda Bbumba of Gender and Khiddu Makubuya of General Duties relinquish their positions over reported abuse of office. The MPs report shows that Bbumba and Khiddu caused financial loss to the Government of Uganda in respect of payment to Haba Group of Companies owned by Hassan Basajjabalaba.

The 66 page report indicates that compensation to Basajjabalaba for losing tenders to manage Owino, Shauriyaako and Nakasero markets inKampala was wrongly executed. The report further recommends the Inspectorate of Government and the Criminal Investigations Department to probe Bbumba and Khidu.

The report also recommends that the Governor of Bank of Uganda, Tumusiime Mutebile, be relieved of his duties for acting recklessly in paying Basajjabalaba over 156 billionUganda shillings as compensation for loss of market deals.
