MPs threaten to censure more ministers over Karamoja iron sheets scandal.

21st February 2023 News Editor 0 Comments

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.
