The Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among has revealed that she bought 500 iron sheets to replace the ones she unknowingly received from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).
While opening Wednesday’s session, Among revealed that she has already instructed her personal assistant to take the iron sheets back to OPM.
The speaker noted that she had already donated the 500 iron sheets to different schools in Bukedea district without knowing that they were meant for Karamoja sub-region.
On February 15, legislators under the Karamoja Parliamentary Group (KPG) accused the Office of the Prime Minister of diverting iron sheets, goats, and foods that were meant to benefit Karamoja residents, who in the recent past were affected by starvation and spates of insecurity.
Ministers that include, Matia Kasaija, Rebecca Kadaga, Amos Lugolobi, Moriku Kaducu, Jacob Oboth Oboth, and Obua Dennis Hanson, among others, were named as beneficiaries of the iron sheets.
