The Inspectorate of Government has demanded extensive financial, banking, procurement and property records from the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) as part of an investigation into alleged mismanagement of public funds by officials of the football governing body.
In a letter dated September 14, 2026, and addressed to FUFA’s chief executive officer at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala, the Inspectorate directed the federation to produce documents covering its governance, financial transactions, public funding, property acquisitions, construction projects and business interests dating back several years.
“The Inspectorate of Government is investigating allegations of mismanagement of public funds by officials of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA),” the letter states.
The demand, issued under the authority of Inspector General of Government Lady Justice Aisha Naluzze Batala, seeks records stretching back to 2016, alongside detailed financial documentation for the period between July 2021 and August 2026.
At the centre of the inquiry is the need to establish how money received by the federation was managed, how its assets were acquired and developed, and how expenditure on projects and football-related activities was accounted for.
The Inspectorate has also requested records relating to the ownership and operations of businesses associated with FUFA, as well as the financial and contractual arrangements surrounding the construction of the Kadiba Stadium project.
The Inspectorate has requested a comprehensive schedule of every bank account held by FUFA from January 1, 2016, to the date of the letter, including accounts that have since been closed.
The records must identify the bank and branch, account number, currency, opening date, closure date where applicable, and authorised signatories at different times.
The letter specifically demands certified bank statements for all the listed accounts covering July 1, 2021, to August 31, 2026.
The same information is required for every legal entity owned by the federation.
“The audited financial statements of the Federation for each financial year from 2016 to date, together with the management letters,” the Inspectorate states, adding that audited accounts for entities owned by FUFA must also be submitted.
The demand for management letters is significant to the scope of the inquiry because such documents ordinarily contain auditors’ observations and recommendations concerning financial controls, accounting procedures and other governance issues.
However, the letter does not establish that auditors have found wrongdoing. The investigation concerns allegations of mismanagement, and the requested documents are intended to provide the Inspectorate with records against which the allegations can be examined.
The Inspectorate has also demanded copies of the FUFA statutes in force in every year from 2016 to date, alongside minutes, agendas, board papers and resolutions from every Executive Committee meeting held since January 1, 2016.
Those records could help investigators examine the decisions made by the federation’s leadership, including resolutions concerning financial transactions, property acquisitions and major projects.
The investigation also covers money received by FUFA from government institutions and other public bodies.
The Inspectorate wants details of every grant, subvention or release received from the National Council of Sports, the Ministry of Education and Sports, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, or any other public body between July 1, 2021, and August 31, 2026.
For each payment, FUFA is required to provide the amount received, the date of disbursement, the intended purpose and any conditions attached to the funding.
The letter further requires the federation to submit the accountability records for each release, including expenditure returns, supporting vouchers and any acquittal accepted by the institution that provided the money.
“The accountability rendered for each such release, including the expenditure returns, supporting vouchers and any acquittal accepted by the disbursing body,” the document states.
The Inspectorate has separately requested financial reports and audited accounts submitted to the National Council of Sports under Section 22 of the National Sports Act, 2023.
The records are expected to enable investigators to compare public money disbursed to the federation with the expenditure declared and the supporting documentation provided to the funding institutions.
The letter does not specify the total amount of public funds under investigation or identify particular transactions already established to have been irregular.
FUFA has also been directed to provide its procurement rules and complete procurement files covering July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2026.
The requested records would give investigators access to the documentation behind procurement decisions, including the selection of contractors, consultants and suppliers and the agreements governing their work.
Beyond bank accounts and expenditure, the Inspectorate has sought detailed information about land, buildings and development projects owned, leased, occupied, developed or used by FUFA or entities associated with the federation.
The requested schedule must identify each property’s location, plot and block numbers or leasehold register details, tenure, registered proprietor, date and method of acquisition, purchase consideration, source of funds, improvements made and current use.
The federation must also submit certified copies of property titles and documents relating to leases, transfers, mortgages, charges, caveats and other encumbrances.
“The certificate of title and the complete transfer history of FUFA House, Mengo, from the earliest record available, and the resolutions of the Federation authorising each transfer,” the letter states.
The demand specifically identifies FUFA House, the federation’s headquarters in Mengo, and requires the complete history of transfers affecting the property, together with the decisions authorising each transfer.
The Inspectorate has also requested the certificate of title, project agreements and construction records for the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
The broader property inquiry extends to assets held through associated entities, meaning the requested records are not limited to properties registered directly in FUFA’s name.
Investigators are seeking documentation that connects each property to its registered owner, acquisition arrangements, financing and subsequent development.
The demand for these records does not, in itself, establish that any property was unlawfully acquired or transferred.
The Kadiba Stadium project features prominently in the Inspectorate’s demands, with FUFA required to produce records covering the land arrangements, financing, construction and current status of the works.
The federation has been directed to provide the agreement, lease, licence or other instrument under which it occupies the land at Kadiba.
The Inspectorate also wants correspondence and resolutions relating to the acquisition of the land, together with the certificate of title of its proprietor.
On the construction side, the demand covers project agreements, disbursement statements, progress reports, project audit reports and correspondence with FIFA, the international governing body for football.
FUFA must also provide a statement showing the total amount of money received for the Kadiba project and the bank account into which each payment was deposited.
The Inspectorate wants the complete project file, including designs and drawings, bills of quantities, procurement records for contractors, consultants and suppliers, signed contracts, interim and final payment certificates, and site records.
It has additionally requested the identities of the project engineer and supervising consultant, together with their terms of engagement.
The letter requires FUFA to account for the project’s expenditure from its inception and reconcile that expenditure with the money received from every source.
“A full account of all expenditure on the project from inception to date, reconciled to the funds received from every source,” the Inspectorate states.
The federation must also provide “a statement of the current physical and financial status of the works and the reason for their non-completion.”
The request places both the project’s financial history and its implementation under examination. Investigators are seeking to establish how much money was received, how it was spent, what work was completed and why the project remains unfinished.
The letter does not state the total amount spent on Kadiba Stadium, the amount of money received from FIFA or other sources, or the precise reasons for the project’s non-completion. Those are among the matters for which the Inspectorate is seeking documentation.
The Inspectorate has also demanded records of accommodation arrangements for Uganda’s national football teams, covering competitions, tournaments and training camps from January 1, 2018, to the date of the letter.
For every facility used, FUFA must provide the dates of accommodation, the facility’s name and location, the rate charged, the number of people accommodated, the total amount paid and the individual or entity that received the money.
Particular attention has been directed to the accommodation of the Uganda Cranes during the 2025 African Nations Championship, commonly known as CHAN.
The Inspectorate wants the complete file relating to those arrangements, including how the facility was identified, inspected, selected and approved.
The documents must also include the proposed and agreed rates, the contract, invoices and proof of payment.
The letter further demands particulars of the business registered as FUFA Hotel Kisaasi, including its proprietors, trading address, relationship with the federation and accounts.
Another entity specifically named is FUFA Hospitality and Travel Agency Ltd.
The Inspectorate wants its constitution, ownership details, directors, accounts, bank accounts and activities.
These demands form part of a wider effort to examine the relationship between FUFA and the businesses connected to it, including how those entities are owned, managed and financed.
The investigation extends beyond the federation’s principal offices and accounts to companies, businesses, cooperatives and trusts owned or controlled by FUFA or the Registered Trustees of FUFA.
The Inspectorate has requested a complete schedule of these entities, including their names, registration numbers, dates of registration, shareholding structures, directors or partners, registered and trading addresses, and current status.
For each entity, the federation is required to provide incorporation or registration certificates, constitutional documents, registers of members and directors, annual returns and audited accounts for every financial year.
The letter’s requirements indicate that investigators want to establish the extent of FUFA’s corporate interests and obtain records that can be compared with the federation’s own financial statements and banking information.
The scope is broad enough to cover entities registered under different legal forms, rather than only companies incorporated under company law.
The investigation concerns alleged mismanagement of public funds by FUFA officials. The letter provided does not name particular officials as suspects, specify charges against them or establish individual responsibility for any alleged wrongdoing.
Moses Magogo, a Member of Parliament and the husband of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, is a prominent figure in Ugandan football and serves as FUFA president. His wife was forced out the speaker reelection race, placed under house arrest, her homes searched, and some parliamentary staff close to her arrested.
The Inspectorate’s demand is directed to FUFA’s chief executive officer and seeks institutional records covering the federation’s governance, finances, assets and projects.
The distinction is important: a demand for records as part of an investigation is not a finding of guilt against the federation or any individual official.
The investigation’s outcome will depend on the records obtained, the evidence examined and the Inspectorate’s subsequent findings.
The September 14 letter sets out the documentary trail investigators want to examine, from government grants and bank transactions to land transfers, construction contracts and payments for national-team accommodation.
For now, the central question raised by the document is whether FUFA can account fully for the public money it received, the assets it controls and the expenditure associated with its activities and development projects.
