The Ugandan Parliament has ordered a comprehensive inquiry into the Busega Toll Road concession after a recent audit disclosed a loss of Shs300 million for the government. Lawmakers demanded that the Ministry of Works and Transport provide a full accounting of the contract terms, toll collection mechanisms, and the alleged under‑performance of the private concessionaire. The committee will summon the Minister of Works, the toll operator’s CEO, and the former Finance Minister to testify. Critics argue that the loss reflects deeper issues of transparency and accountability in public‑private partnerships, while the government has pledged to recover the funds and tighten oversight on future infrastructure deals.
