  BoU has so far been unsuccessful in getting back the funds wired in Tokyo, and likely won't, according to people familiar with the matter

The article from Monitor discusses a dispute between the Bank of Uganda (BoU) and the Ministry of Finance over an audit concerning a significant financial loss due to a cyber heist. In 2019, hackers stole $31 million from BoU's systems, leading to an ongoing investigation. The Ministry of Finance has expressed concerns over the slow pace of the audit and the lack of transparency from BoU. They are pushing for a comprehensive audit to understand the full extent of the breach and to ensure accountability. Conversely, BoU has resisted what they perceive as interference, asserting their independence and the confidentiality of their internal investigations. This conflict highlights broader issues of governance, oversight, and the balance of power between financial regulatory bodies and government ministries in Uganda.
