The 26 million that left Spain so that a former socialist president of Renfe could renew the train in Uganda... and that ended in a political scandal in Africa

Uganda's concrete sleeper factory, initially celebrated, is now embroiled in controversy over alleged contract irregularities and poor construction quality. The factory aimed to replace old metal sleepers on a crucial railway line connecting Uganda to Kenya. Julián García Valverde, a former Spanish politician, is linked to the project through his companies, Imathia and Consultrans. An audit revealed significant defects in the railway infrastructure, leading to parliamentary investigations into the management of Uganda Railways Corporation. Despite the issues, the railway line was inaugurated and is now operational, raising questions about accountability and project oversight.
