One of the biggest concerns raised by the Auditor General is the university’s staffing crisis. The Auditor General found that although the university initiated a procurement worth Shs106.3 million for implementation in the following financial year, management failed to prepare the mandatory multi-year procurement plan. Out of planned procurements worth Shs18.1 billion during the financial year, contracts worth only Shs12.36 billion, representing 67 percent, were awarded. The Auditor General also questioned the pace of implementation of university programmes funded through the non-payroll budget. The report further examined The Political Economy of Food System Governance Around Lake Victoria Project, implemented by Kabale University for the period ended 31 December 2024.
