15 Concerned NSSF Member, (Names withheld) have  writes to Inspect General of Government IGG, Seeking  investigate on chairman NSSF, Mr Peter Kimbowa.

The 15 members have accused peter kimbowa for diverting NSSF funds to fund  Tondeka bus project, which is a personal business. 

A latter dated 18th January 2023 reads:- 

As concerned members of NSSF, i wish this investigation to widen to include the activities of the chairperson of the board of directors Mr. Peter kimbowa for the following reasons :- 

1. Mr kimbowa is a funding executive chairman, Tondeka metro company, 

2. In that capacity as funding executive chairman, Mr Kimbowa had been promising Uganda to put 900 buses on the streets of kampala and the great kampala metropolitan area for last 10 years, (refer to one publication attached)

3. In september 2021 Mr Kimbowa was appointed chairman of the board of directors at NSSF.

4. In mid 202, Tondeka Company finally put over 10 buses on the streets of kampala. 

What a coincidence that  no sooner had Mr kimbowa been appointed chairman board of directors at NSSF than Tondeka was able to put buses on kampala streets, something that had evaded them for a long time.

Could Mr. Kimbowa have used workers money for his personal business? And no sooner had the Tondeka buses appeared on our streets than allegations of corruption and abuse  of office were raised at NSSF. I pray that your good office investigate Peter Kimbowa, the chairman NSSF for possible corruption activities at NSSF.
