INVESTIGATION: Who Gave Away the Kinyara Sugar Farmers’ Shareholding in the Company Valued at Over USD 9 Million?  A 10% promise. A secret transfer. A billion-shilling question. Masindi farmers are taking on the state and corporate power in a landmark court case over shares they were promised—but never received—in Kinyara Sugar Ltd. Who gave them away?

Hon. Matia Kasaija, Minister of Finance and Chairperson of DRIC; Patrick Bitature, Eminent Member; Emely Kugonza, then Chairman of the Uganda Investment Authority; Christophe Gashirabake, representing the Attorney General; Moses Mwase, Director of the Privatization Unit; and Jim Mugunga, Senior Public Relations Officer, Privatization Unit — some of the key officials who sat in the DRIC meeting that approved the controversial sale of farmers’ shares in Kinyara Sugar Ltd.
