The Minister made the admission while appearing before Parliament’s Ad hoc Committee investigating the motion by the Government to extend Bujagali’s tax waiver for another 5 years on top of the already 15 years the company has been enjoying.

Otuke County MP, Paul Omara informed the Minister that Uganda extended a loan worth US$90M to Bujagali yet government has class C shares that don’t come with any voting rights on the board and there is no payment for dividends.

The Minister was also informed that Bujagali has only invested US$179.8 Million and by 2015, they had redeemed all their preference shares and only retained US$10 Million in the business, yet the shareholders have earned the highest in payments of its shareholders to a tune of US$645 Million.

Minister Kasaija asked the Committee to summon the team that negotiated the Bujagali deal, saying that he wasn’t in office at the time the deal was negotiated.
