The managing director of Uganda Railways Corporation, Benon Kajuna, is under investigation for the disappearance of 394 railway wagons worth approximately $5.8 million (Shs 220.8 billion). Parliament’s physical infrastructure committee issued a directive on July 23, 2026, ordering Kajuna to provide a statement to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (CID). The directive followed a contentious parliamentary meeting where concerns were raised regarding the missing assets. The scale of the loss has prompted questions about accountability and potential mismanagement within the Uganda Railways Corporation. Details surrounding the disappearance remain unclear, and the CID investigation is expected to delve into the circumstances of the missing wagons. This incident raises significant concerns about the security of national assets and the potential for corruption within Uganda's railway system.
