KAZINDA’S LOOT ON SALE as IGG Moves to Cash in on Corruption Properties
The long arm of the law is tightening—and this time, it is coming with a price tag.
The Inspectorate of Government has kicked off the valuation of 17 prime properties recovered from corrupt public officials, including a high-profile house once owned by convicted former OPM accountant Geoffrey Kazinda.
Leading the charge is Chief Government Valuer Gilbert Kermundu, who has assured the public that the entire exercise will be completed within just one month.
“We have a formidable team… this activity shouldn’t take us more than one month,” Kermundu said during a site visit led by IGG Lady Justice Naluzze Aisha Batala to one of the properties in Bukoto on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
The property, once linked to Kazinda, is among the assets seized after his 2020 conviction for illicit enrichment. Investigations revealed that he had amassed wealth worth over UGX 4 billion—far beyond his known sources of income.
Following the conviction, court ordered that his properties be confiscated by the government, marking one of the most significant anti-corruption recoveries in recent years.
Now, the government is preparing to dispose of these properties, effectively turning corruption loot into public cash.
The move is being seen as a strong signal in the fight against graft, with officials insisting that no stolen wealth will remain hidden forever.
As valuation begins, many are watching closely to see how much the recovered assets will fetch—and who might end up buying the spoils of corruption.
