According to the Auditor General, government approved compensation worth about Shs34 billion for Project Affected Persons (PAPs). Yet the Auditor General’s report still showed that only Shs14.6 billion had actually reached the Project Affected Persons during the audit period. “You have government funds, donor funds, yet only a fraction reached the Project Affected Persons.” The hearing took another dramatic turn when ministry officials revealed that about 32,000 Project Affected Persons remained uncompensated even after the project’s completion. The audit found that by June 30, 2025, total cumulative donor disbursements had reached 95 percent, while Government of Uganda counterpart funding stood at only 50 percent.
