Engineers Board suspends Fredrick Mubiru over "shoddy works

Eng. Namugera emphasized that the suspension, which will lapse on April 24, 2026, is “subject to submission of satisfactory evidence of remedial measures taken to address the identified issues.”

The ERB has also issued a directive to the suspended engineer. “By copy of this notification,” the public notice read, “the Engineer shall hand over all his running projects to the respective Employers with immediate effect and provide evidence of the same to the Board.”

Furthermore, Eng. Namugera informed the public about accessing the official register of practicing engineers. “The Public is further informed that a list of all certified Engineers who are legally allowed to practice Engineering in Uganda can be accessed from our website at www.erb.go.ug or the ERB offices, Plot 2, Gloucester Avenue, Kyambogo.”

The public notice was signed by Eng. Namugera Ronald, Registrar of the Engineers Registration Board.

The suspension stems from allegations of professional misconduct related to three structural failures. These include the collapse of a retaining wall at the Goodluck Oil fuel station in Ndejje Kanyanya cell, Makindye Ssabagabo Municipality. The other two incidents involve the collapse of a floor in an industrial warehouse belonging to Sun Labelling and Printing Company Ltd. in Kavule Village, Mpigi District, which occurred in September 2021, and a building collapse on Major Victor Bwana Road in Mbarara on October 5, 2021.
