Africa with its political parasites. Government has no money to pay the striking University staff but the same government has approved 64 billion to buy cars to over 427 MPs according to the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga.
The Parliament will process a supplementary budget for that. This comes after the Parliamentary commission rejected a proposal by Finance Ministry to finance MPs Car Grant in shifts.
We have money for luxuries but we don’t have money for basic needs!! As long as voters continue to elect these type of MPs, it will take us 5 Generations to bring back Uganda where it was in 1986. If a person cant manage him or herself, why would we tax payers bare the burden, these vampires are focusing on draining our country as ordinary Ugandans are dieing in Poverty.
What value do we get from these MPs. To me, if we are to give MPs cars, a used RAV 4 is enough for them, if one wants a state of the art car, let him or her buy it for themselves. Surprisingly even the Commissioners of Parliament who use the official cars that belong the Parliament will also be given 150M. Even UPDF representatives (Generals) who were recently given the state of the art Land Cruisers will also be given 150M. Every UPDF MP who was in the 9th Parliament was using the Official UPDF Land Cruiser, so what happened to the 100M that were given to them?
Even the Speaker and Duty Speaker who officially use Parliament cars on top of having the state of the art Land Cruisers, each has a Mercedes Benz (S500) plus a lead car and a support double cabin and Police officers.
Thats why i don’t call them Honorables!!
