The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) National Disciplinary Committee has concluded the first session of hearings involving several party members accused of misconduct and violations of party rules.
The committee, chaired by P.P. Okello, concluded the session on Friday, September 4, 2026, at the UPC headquarters at Uganda House, Kampala.
The hearings started on September 1 at Garden Inn Hotel in Lira City before proceedings were adjourned and later resumed at the party headquarters.
In a statement issued Friday, the party said the proceedings had been conducted in an orderly, fair and transparent manner, in accordance with the principles of natural justice and the UPC Constitution of 2008, as amended.
“The hearings were conducted in an orderly, fair and transparent manner in strict observance of the principles of natural justice and the provisions of the UPC Constitution,” the party said.
The disciplinary action involves nine members, including Enap Adim Denis, Jack Kabusu, Natukunda Nawume Aisha, Magero Emmanuel Were, Achola Suzan, Ongom Chris, Ogwal Adyebo Alex, Ewal George and Babirye Josephine, among others.
The members are facing allegations including theft of party letterheads, forgery of party stamps and seals, misuse of party symbols and impersonation, among other alleged violations.
UPC head of communications Faizo Muzeeyi said earlier this week that the members had been referred to the NDC over alleged misconduct contrary to the party constitution and rules of procedure.
However, the party stressed that the proceedings are still ongoing and no final decision has been communicated on the cases.
“The NDC will, at an appropriate time, inform the Party Leadership, membership and the general public about the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings,” the party said.
UPC said the NDC is an independent organ of the party mandated to handle disciplinary matters in accordance with established procedures.
The party also disclosed that disciplinary committees at sub-county level across the country are handling other cases within their respective mandates.
It urged members to observe discipline and conduct party activities within the party’s Code of Conduct and the laws of Uganda.
The allegations against the members remain unproven until the disciplinary process is concluded and the relevant party organs make their findings
