  • Parliament's accountability committee is investigating why the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has not taken possession of land it purchased.

Uganda's Parliament is probing the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) over its failure to secure 50 acres of land that businessman Amos Nzeyi sold to the fund almost 20 years ago. The Public Accounts Committee has raised serious questions about why the NSSF has not yet gained vacant possession of the property.

Businessman Amos Nzeyi remains in occupation of the land, despite the sale transaction occurring nearly two decades prior. This prolonged situation has prompted scrutiny from the parliamentary committee, which is tasked with ensuring accountability in public fund management.

The committee is demanding explanations from the NSSF regarding the delays and the apparent inability to enforce the terms of the land sale. The investigation aims to understand the reasons behind the NSSF's inaction and to determine the steps necessary to secure the fund's assets.
