By Mulengera Reporters

Investigations conducted by Mulengera News have established government entities (MDAs) which have a habit of not paying service providers they owe on time and thereby complicating business operations for especially private sector companies for which government is the major client.

In simple terms these are the most indebted ministries in Museveni’s Uganda and their debt obligation (totaling Shs1,299,569,506,888) has been verified and accepted by the PSST Keith Muhakanizi and all government auditors as genuine, credible and due.

 Our findings (an outcome of perusing numerous government audit correspondences) show that as of July last year, in total the numerous government entities owed Shs1,299,569,506,888.

There is also another ShsShs7.4bn in unpaid gratuity/pension obligations; Shs32.2bn in salary arrears (mostly due to employees who got promoted but kept earning lower rank salaries); Shs3.7bn in rent arrears (mostly due to private businessmen whose property entities rent) and Shs82.6bn in utility arrears due to both NWSC and UMEME Ltd.
