We need to start biting,\u201d MP Allan Atugonza (Bulisa County) said, adding, \u201cWe need to revise the strategy [because the current approach] is encouraging corruption. We need to look at ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, another lawmaker, Mr Gerald Ibanda Rwemulikya of Ntoroko County painted a bleak picture, blaming the current state of affairs on \u201cdiminishing patriotism in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf nothing is done, corrupt people will finish this country [because] people don\u2019t think of the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday Monitor understands that Mr Wilfred Niwagaba\u2014the shadow attorney general\u2014will draft a comprehensive line of proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Joyce Bagala (Mityana Woman MP), the shadow communications minister, declined to divulge details of the proposals, saying there will be a formal communication on the same from the office of the Leader of Opposition in Parliament (LoP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be looking at constitutional reforms for social and electoral reforms,\u201d Ms Bagala said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the House\u2014under the leadership of Speaker Anita Among and Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa\u2014passed 28 Bills and adopted 31 reports between June 7 and December 23.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (Cosase)\u2014led by Mr Joel Ssenyonyi (Nakawa West)\u2014notably exposed the rot in Uganda Railways Corporation (URC), the filth in Uganda Land Commission (ULC) and scandals choking life out of Uganda\u2019s national carrier\u2014Uganda Airlines.<\/p>\n<p><b>URC, ULC probes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Wide-held opinions noted that the House through the Ssenyonyi-led committee unearthed the rot in URC, leading to the dismissal of its boss\u2014Mr Stanley Ssendegeya\u2014by the Works and Transport minister Gen Katumba Wamala at the behest of President Museveni in mid-October.<\/p>\n<p>The Ssendegeya administration had been, among others, faulted for wasting Shs48 billion by procuring four locomotives from South Africa. Cosase noted that the resale of the said locomotives was nearly impossible thus wasting taxpayers\u2019 money.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in August, a Cosase report tabled before the House recommended that the Ombudsman, Ms Olive Beti Kamya, and the Finance minister, Mr Matia Kasaija, be prosecuted for their role in the irregular release of Shs10 billion by the ULC ostensibly to ghost claimants.<\/p>\n<p>The committee\u2019s recommendations also suggested that the deputy Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury, Mr Patrick Ocailap, be reprimanded for not thoroughly scrutinising the said Shs10 billion supplementary request.<\/p>\n<p><b>Flying without wings<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Cosase spotlight also illuminated the mismanagement of and losses incurred by Uganda Airlines. Ms Jenifer Bamuturaki, the chief executive officer of Uganda\u2019s flag carrier, found herself caught in the crosshairs. Cases of mismanagement of the national carrier included inflated prices for some items procured, flouted procurement guidelines and travellers being gifted with free tickets at the taxpayers\u2019 expense. These consequently left Uganda Airlines grappling with a Shs500 billion blackhole.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, the findings of the probe have never been formally tabled before the House. Leaks, however, indicate that some of the recommendations include punishments for Uganda Airlines top brass on account of the litany of irregularities unearthed during the probe.<\/p>\n<p><b>Among cracks whip<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On November 17, Speaker Among adjourned proceedings in the House with the demand that the Prime Minister, Ms Robinah Nabbanja, whips her wing\u2014especially ministers\u2014to table action reports detailing on the progress made in regards to the resolutions made or passed by Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince you want to be a people-centred Parliament, you need to be seen to perform. We also have to check our ministers. We need to help the President of Uganda,\u201d Speaker Among said, adding, \u201cWe need action reports in this House &#8230; We will have action reports ministry by ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, seven ministerial action reports were tabled, with the Justice and Constitutional Affairs ministry\u2014a key entity in the fight against corruption\u2014among the first presenters.<\/p>\n<p>As she received the audit reports from Ms Kamya, Speaker Among ordered that a value for money audit be done around the Atiak Sugar Factory where billions have been ploughed. Ms Among also pushed for more resources to be channelled to the Inspectorate of Government so as to rein in corruption.<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker was dismayed to learn that at least Shs25 million is lost to corruption each day in Uganda. Other findings in a 2021 inaugural study bankrolled by the German government, which found that at least 23 percent of the government\u2019s annual budget is gobbled by corruption, puzzled Ms Kamya.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it was found that a minimum of Shs9.144 trillion is siphoned through several conduits infested in both private and public entities within the country. This mirrored earlier findings by Auditor General John Muwanga whose body of work informed the probe into Uganda Airlines.<\/p>\n<p><b>Covid cash mess<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mr Muwanga also carried out an audit into the mismanagement of the money doled out when Uganda struggled to contain the pandemic. The forensic study was triggered off in last May after lawmakers tasked the Auditor General\u2019s office to look into allegations of mismanagement of the said Covid-19 money.<\/p>\n<p>Months later, Mr Muwanga confirmed the fears of the lawmakers. It was found that the Ministry of Health, among other, entities \u201cwasted\u201d away monies that had been meant to enable Ugandans weather through the brutal effects of the pandemic. The government officials were faulted for having awarded contracts to the selected firms owned by the same persons to allegedly supply facilities or equipment that was largely not used.<\/p>\n<p><b>Smelling the coffee<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Early last year, Parliament\u2019s Trade committee made an inquiry into the details of the awarding of a controversial deal to the Uganda Vinci Coffee Company Limited (UVCCL) owned by Italian businesswoman, Ms Enrica Pinetti. After a marathon probe, it was recommended that the deal be terminated. On December 29, President Museveni indicated that the Executive will not heed Parliament\u2019s suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>The collective position of the House\u2019s Opposition wing is that it will not relent. Ms Bagala told <b>Monitor <\/b>this week that they are more than determined to stop the overreach by the Executive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t heed because it is their intention. They don\u2019t think that Ugandans deserve better,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cThat\u2019s why for us [the Opposition] we think it\u2019s high time we had change and that\u2019s why we press for change. That\u2019s why we are in this struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
