Police officials have failed to account for up to 1.2 billion Shillings which was collected under Non-Tax Revenues during the financial year 2016/2017 and 2017/2018.Police’s Non-Tax Revenue is generated from express penalties, firearm certificates and guard fees.
During the two financial years, the force collected Shs 23.14 billion as Non-Tax Revenue, but only remitted Shs 22.5 billion to the Consolidated Fund.
Under the provisions of the law, only 6 percent of the collections is returned to the Police Force for its own welfare expenditure.
The Police force’s head of Accounts, Richard Katongole told the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament that the difference of Shs 1.2 billion was Cash-in-Transit, waiting to be transferred from the Bank to the Consolidated Fund, by the end of the financial year.
But the explanation was rejected by committee members; Wilberforce Yaguma and Jessica Ababiku who hinted on confidential information relating to funds being kept on a personal fixed deposit account of a Senior Police officer.
Although Katongole maintained that the money was transferred, he failed to table evidence indicating so. The legislators pointed out that the Police Statement of Accounts does not have any indication of the money being transferred at a later stage to the Consolidated Fund.
Under Secretary Rogers Muhirwa explained that Police’s Non-Tax Revenue is collected by Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and that they do reconciliation of receipts at every end of the month. He, however, asked for more time to reconcile their figures on NTR and provide an explanation to the committee.
“For the record, our non-tax revenue is collected by URA and at the end of every month, they give us a reconciliation of how much they have transferred to the consolidated fund on our behalf, and then we reconcile with how much we have collected because we issue the receipts, they collect the money,” Muhirwa said.
Muhirwa further denied that there is any money kept on personal accounts since all the funds are collected by URA.

Shame on Semujju Nganda
Semujju Nganda was staying in Gayaza in the late 2000 but when time to contest as an MP for Kyadondo came he run away from his ancestral home since Late Karena Njuba was strong and he could not manage him he went to grab a land in Bukasa where he constructed a quick house to claim citizenship of Kira town council and later constructed on a mosque which he cheated the people(moslems) in Bukasa by collecting 5000shs from whoever prays there.
H did not stop there, he again encroached on National Housing land in Kasokoso where he owns a big Resort hotel and gardens. Again he grabbed another land equivalent to two acres in Kiganda where he pretends to construct a hospital claiming to be a private hospital in his names
Even bricks are being late and are just being burnt now after pressure.
From there he fooled Ugandans that his fighting Yoweri Museveni to bring justice
Yoweri Museveni is a thief like Semujju Nganda.You are finishing people’s lives claiming to work for them
Next time we shall post about your Multi billion hardware in Kireka and how you owned it.
You have totally done nothing for Kira Municipality apart from feeding your own stomach and Family,uganda.uk.com
HOW CAN UGANDANS BE HELPED TO BE TRUST-ABLE WITH MONEY?
Many Ugandans, when given opportunity to handle, mobilise or process money in anyway can least be trusted.You assign people roles to mobilise or collect money from the public, if you do not put in a place strict control methods, you are bound to be shocked.
The “culture” of temptations where money is involved does not only afflict people at low levels in our society, but it affects most those in more responsible offices. These one’s take any opportunity to take money which is not theirs very seriously. If need be they use paper fraud or use some law to make ends meet.
If we are not careful, not only are local fundraising efforts bound to be disappointed, but better placed people are bound to go as far as eliminating beneficiaries of funds they target to steal.
Our schools can play a role in instilling trust into the young generation, but also strict measures need to be put in place and observed to ensure proper financial management.
Otherwise, there are few people to be trusted where local fundraising is involved.

Eric Sakwa, has directed Police to shoot Ugandans dead
The Jinja Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Eric Sakwa, has directed police to shoot dead whoever is caught red-handed killing boda boda riders.Mr Sakwa gave the bizarre directive on Sunday after a 28-year-old boda boda rider was on Saturday morning killed and robbed of his motorcycle.
Sadat Mulyowa Wandera, a resident of Kitove Village, Mafubira Sub-county in Jinja District, was beaten to death by hammer-welding passengers who later fled with his motorcycle registration number UES 499G.
“We are tired of thieves stealing and killing boda boda cyclists. Whoever is caught (in the act) should be shot dead. We shall perform an autopsy after we have killed them,” Mr Sakwa, who heads security in the district, said in a telephone interview.
The Chairperson of Jinja Boda Boda operators, Mr Eria Musobya, said the deceased was murdered by the criminals who pretended to be passengers heading to Magwa.
“They turned against him and murdered him near YMCA Hostel. This crime has shocked the boda boda fraternity in Jinja who thought such murders were only happening elsewhere,” Mr Musobya said.
The Chairperson Bata Boda Boda Stage in Jinja Town, Mr Ibrahim Kiwanuka, asked Government to install CCTV cameras in Jinja Town like they have done in Kampala. This, he said, will capture faces of those who steal their motorcycles.
“Motorcycle thieves are running to Jinja because Kampala is fitted with CCTV cameras. We also ask government toinstall cameras in this town, not to only help the boda bodas, but also curb other criminal activities,” Mr Kiwanuka said.
He added that once such thieves are arrested, they should be killed, warning that once taken into police custody, they would be given bond and begin from where they stopped.
The boda boda industry has recently been rocked by a spate of murders, notably that of Derrick Mulindwa in Rubaga, a Kampala suburb, which was captured on CCTV and went viral.
Mr Sakwa also asked boda boda riders to always furnish security operatives with information because some of them know these groups, where they sleep and to whom they sell the stolen motorcycles.
Following Mr Wandera’s death, fellow riders rode his body through the streets of Jinja Town while demonstrating the manner in which their colleague was killed.
Efforts to get a comment from the Regional Police Commander, Mr Paul Nkore, were futile as he didn’t answer or return our calls by press time. He was however quoted by another media outlet as saying investigations are underway.
