Members of Parliament have threatened to censure ministers who fail
to discharge their responsibility to the public, following the recent Karamoja
iron sheets scandal” that has rocked the Office of the Prime minister (OPM).
According to recent reports, iron sheets that
were procured to support the vulnerable in Karamoja Region ended up in Karamoja
Affairs minister, Mary Gorreti Kitutu’s home.
The MPs, who are returning from a two weeks’
recess, say a probe into the affair should be the House’s first order of
business.
Bugiri
Municipality MP Asuman Basalirwa says they want to know how the iron sheets,
which they have no report about, came to be distributed.
Basalirwa
also expressed concern about the unending scandals at OPM despite the recent
change in guard, saying this could point to a much needed audit on all
ministries under OPM.
The JEEMA
President’s remarks come as legislators zero on on some of their priorities
going forward.
