Claim
An X post by @kampalaJournal claims that Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) Commissioner Chrispin Kaheru fraudulently acquired a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser V8 and gifted it to one of his concubines, citing a supposed report by Parliament's Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) Chaired by Hon: Muwanda Nkunyinji.
What we know
•The Uganda Human Rights Commission Official X account has publicly denied the claim, stating that no COSASE report contains such findings. The Commission said the allegation is false and noted that the Auditor General's 2025 report instead highlighted the need to replace UHRC's aging vehicle fleet.
• When Jamiicheck analysed the matter further, we found that the Recent COSASE proceedings only questioned Kaheru over the temporary personal use of a government vehicle following earlier media reports(Watch on YouTube) However, there is no publicly available COSASE report stating that he obtained a Land Cruiser through deception or gifted it to a concubine.
Verdict: MISLEADING
There is no evidence of a COSASE report stating that Chrispin Kaheru deceived UHRC into giving him a Toyota Land Cruiser V8 or that he gifted it to a concubine. The claim is unsupported, and Uganda Human Rights Commission has officially denied its existence.
