Butebo County

17727 THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT OF UGANDA THURSDAY, 7 AUGUST 2025 in Ntungamo District, had been fully upgraded to health centres III by the time the committee did the oversight. Works to upgrade 41 health centres II were ongoing, with the majority of the projects making less than 50 per cent progress. The details are attached in Annex II. Upgrade of the remaining 81 health centres II had not started. The committee established that out of the 62 health centres III earmarked for new construction under the UgIFT II programme, only three: Kasangati Health Centre III, Kakindo Health Centre III in Kakumiro District, and Kikooma Health Centre III in Kyankwanzi District had been completed. Construction of 28 health centres III was still ongoing, while works for 31 health centres III had not yet started. See details in Annex III. The committee further established that the progress on implementation of various construction projects of new health centres III and upgrade of health centres II to III was largely characterised by defective works, prolonged delays in completion by contractors, including the UPDF Brigade, due to lack of supervision by local government leadership. All project- related decisions, including contract award and the procurement of equipment, were managed by the Central Government. Non-compliance with the standard project design The committee discovered that essential documentation regarding contracts and BOQs was absent, and the Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development delayed releasing funds, all of which affected the effective execution of the projects. There were double payments to some of the contractors by the Ministry of Health arising from a change of policy to award contracts, particularly to the UPDF Engineering Brigade. A case in point is Shs 400 million for the completion of the Ober Health Centre IV in Lira City maternity ward and theatre that was channelled directly to the Ministry of Defence by the Ministry of Health, well aware of another running contract with BP Enterprises and Construction Company Limited. See the letter attached in Annex IV. Other specific examples of such construction and upgrade projects include Kachuru Health Centre III in Butebo District, Rushare Health Centre III and Ruhare Health Centre III in Mbarara District, Kichwamba Health Centre II in Mbarara City, Kyabakuza Health Centre II in Masaka City, and Kabbo Health Centre II and Gayaza Health Centre II Mubende District. The committee observed that whereas Parliament approved Shs 552.6 billion to address infrastructure gaps in local government countrywide, a significant number of subcounties and town councils across the country still do not have health centres III. No work had been done on 81 out of 124 health centres II earmarked for upgrade to health centre III. Similarly, 31 out of 62 planned new construction of health centres III in subcounties without any Government health centres III had not even started. The committee observed that the upgraded health centres II and the newly constructed health centres III were not fully functional, largely due to inadequate staffing. There was adverse mismanagement of contracts by the Ministry of Health that involved re- awarding of already running contracts to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Engineering Brigade in total violation of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets (PPDA) Act. There was a likelihood of fraud in the management and implementation of various Uganda Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers Program (UgIFT) projects across the country. The Government had not yet fulfilled its pledge of establishing health centres III in every sub- country across the country.

Thank you, Mr Speaker, for granting me the opportunity to present this issue. There are persons registering and extorting money from people in Butebo District, purportedly as agents of the association of Teso war victims, with the promise that they are working on their forms to benefit from the Government compensation. My prayers are as follows: i. The responsible minister should come up with an explanation of the legality of these activities and save the people from such extortion; ii. The persons who are collecting the money from the public should be investigated and possibly the money be refunded; and iii. The Government should streamline and strengthen its responsiveness in regard to such activities. I emphasise prayer number three because it has been a habit for people to come to that side of the district and extort money. A few years ago, somebody was collecting money and promised the people that he was going to take them to His Excellency, the President. Indeed, they boarded two buses, brought the people to Kampala, drove them around and told them that the program had changed. (Laughter) Another incident involved people paying money that they would get chicken from Operation Wealth Creation and the chicken never appeared. I wonder why the security system does not pick up the nitty-gritties. Indeed, one Gombolola Internal Security Officer (GISO) told me -

Mr Speaker, first of all, I sympathise with the Butebo District Woman Representative and also confirm that we live in a society where we still have fraudsters. I would also like to confirm that when you are receiving items from Operation Wealth Creation, there is no payment; it is completely free. I also wish to confirm that the ongoing compensation by the Government in Teso, Lango and Acholi has nothing for one to pay. You go through the due processes and you are paid. For those who are yet to be paid, subject to the availability of funds, they will be paid. I request my colleague to furnish me with details of what is happening in Butebo such that even right now we can be able to - together with you - take appropriate action with the security apparatus in Butebo and that greater region, superintended over by the Regional Police Commander. It is something that we need to take up. Thank you.
