The committee on commission’s statutory authorities and state enterprises has directed the custodian board which is in charge of properties of departed Asians to bring an inventory report of the properties in their custody.

The board led by the executive secretary George William Bintu Bizibu was this morning appearing before the committee chaired by Kawempe South Mubarak Munyagwa to respond to the auditor general’s queries for 2015 to 2018 on the authority and also on the two special audits reports that were conducted on the board.

This is after the Kalungu West MP Joseph Ssewungu asked the chairperson to direct the board to bring the list of the properties they hold in their trust in Kalungu district saying that he has information that some of the properties were sold under unclear circumstances.

The executive director George William Bintu Bizibu informed the committee that he needed two months to submit this inventory of the properties as most of them were not documented saying that he was never given a handover report and hence he does not know the list of the properties under the board.

However, this was rubbished by the former executive secretary Tumwesigye Bernard who noted that it’s not true there are no list of properties saying that when he left the board had 3,323 properties under their custody and says this can be confirmed with the auditor general’s reports.

This prompted the committee chairperson Mubarak Munyagwa to give them two weeks to submit the list of the properties and has ordered them not to sell any property until the committee finalizes with its probe on the matter.
