The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has directed its attention to the Accountant General, Lawrence Semakula, requesting documentation regarding the redemption of seven promissory notes amounting to $133.6 million allocated to Lubowa Hospital.
PAC has raised concerns over the lack of verification of a Milestone completion certificate for the physical construction works carried out at the hospital, prompting an inquiry into the basis upon which the government made these payments.
The committee’s request for documentation underscores the need for transparency and accountability in the disbursement of public funds, especially in significant allocations such as those directed towards healthcare infrastructure projects like Lubowa Hospital.
PAC’s inquiry into the redemption of the promissory notes reflects its mandate to ensure that government expenditures are justified and properly accounted for, in line with fiscal responsibility and good governance principles.

The absence of a Milestone completion certificate raises questions about the thoroughness of the government’s assessment of the progress and quality of the construction works at Lubowa Hospital before authorizing the redemption of the promissory notes.
