The Presidential Affairs Committee leadership has revealed that the probe into the mismanagement of iron sheets and other relief items meant for families in the poverty-stricken Karamoja sub-region is ready.

The vice chairperson of the committee Naome Kabasharira, says her team is hoping that the House leadership would line up the item on the order paper for next week.

Kabashaira disclosed that they were silent because they had to sit down and gather whatever they had collected and investigated to put them into one document.

Investigations into the mismanagement of relief items including goats, sheep iron sheets, and other food items intended to assist the vulnerable persons in the Karamoja region commenced February.

In the course of the investigation, the legislators interfaced with among others, Vice President Jessica Alupo, Prime Minister Robbinah Nabbanja together with other 22 Ministers, 30 Members of Parliament plus relatives of implicated officials.

A field visit to the Karamoja sub-region was also conducted in March, where it was discovered that each beneficiary was supposed to receive 16 goats.

On the contrary, the committee leadership found that some people in the said region received poor-quality animals while others never got anything at all.

Having concluded investigations, Kabasharira is hoping that the dicey matter will find space on the order paper for discussion and or adoption before the House slides into recess in about 4 weeks.
