MPs Reopen Scrutiny Of NSSF Temangalo Land Investment

Kampala, August 13, 2026 - Members of Parliament revived scrutiny of the National Social Security Fund’s Temangalo land investment after it emerged that the fund has failed to access 55 acres of the property nearly 18 years after the purchase.

The inquiry is examining the circumstances surrounding the acquisition and management of the disputed land, including whether the investment met NSSF’s legal mandate to pursue high-yielding and low-risk returns for members. The unresolved access problem has renewed questions about investment governance at one of Uganda’s most important long-term savings institutions.

Lawmakers questioned Mr Nzeyi, who said he first took interest in the land in 1988 with plans to establish a dairy farm and later acquired it in phases from a former managing director of Uganda Development Bank. Mr Omoding was also questioned over alleged conflict of interest and a possible breach of standing orders barring public servants from conducting private business for their employer.

The Temangalo area has since attracted interest as a quiet residential location, increasing the commercial relevance of the long-running dispute. For investors, the probe underscores the importance of land due diligence, pension-fund accountability and enforceable access rights in Ugandan real estate transactions.
