The National Unity Platform (NUP) party has advised former Leader of the Opposition, Mathias Mpuuga, to step down from his position as Commissioner of Parliament after he allegedly admitted to receiving the ‘scandalous’ Shs500 million as a ‘Service Award’ from parliament.

In a statement issued by NUP, the opposition party reveals that, following the serious allegations of corruption levelled against Mpuuga alongside three other Parliamentary Commissioners, the party called for an urgent meeting where Mpuuga admitted being part of the ‘Service Award scheme’ that allocated themselves taxpayers’ money.

“Mpuuga admitted that he indeed took part in this wrongdoing and apologized for the same,” reads the statement in part.

The statement further states that he was then strongly advised to step down from his role as Parliamentary Commissioner with immediate effect.

Since the start of this week, there has been an ongoing online protest under the hashtag #UgandaParliamentExhibition. The protest aims at exposing the massive corruption, abuse of office, and gross mismanagement of public affairs by the leadership of Parliament.

And it’s during the ‘exhibition’ that a document was shared indicating how the top leaders in parliament awarded themselves millions of shillings. The allocation was dubbed as ‘Service Award.’

However, Parliament is yet to release an official statement about the allegation, but Chris Obore, the Communications Director at Parliament, tweeted saying how they are following the ‘exhibition’ and that they will respond after analyzing all the allegations.
