What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Bank of Uganda faced parliamentary scrutiny regarding its financial statements, which recorded an outstanding receivable of Shs 219.459 billion as of June 30, 2025. A dispute arose between the Bank of Uganda and Sudhir Ruparelia over this amount, which BoU claims remains unrecovered from its intervention in Crane Bank. BoU Governor Michael Atingi-Ego maintained that the amount is payable by Crane Bank and its shareholders, but Ruparelia rejected the claim in a letter to Parliament.

The dispute involves a substantial outstanding receivable from a bank that the Bank of Uganda took over nearly a decade ago. This situation challenges the central bank's financial integrity and its ability to recover funds following its intervention in Crane Bank.

Financial mismanagement previously led to a formal investigation involving the Office of the President in Uganda.
