Diplomatic staff at the Uganda embassy in Denmark convened a Zoom meeting and discussed how to share government money they were not able to spend during the 2019/20 financial year that ended in June.

An audio clip of proceedings of the meeting shows how the diplomats at the embassy in Copenhagen sat with their junior staff and agreed to share the money.

At the end of each financial year, government institutions are required by law to return all unused balances to the Treasury in Kampala.

Section 17 (2) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2005 stipulates: "A vote that does not expend money appropriated to it for the financial year shall at the close of the financial year, repay the money to the Consolidated Fund."

A source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the voices in the clip belonged to their officers at the Uganda mission in Denmark.


In the clip the diplomats are heard discussing how they would raise funds to bribe auditors who would certainly find what one of them described as "jumbled funds" at the mission.

They have more than a little explaining to do. They just kind of screwed themselves over for last year as well.
