On Tuesday, Among blasted the legislators for taking to the media to complain about the deductions, saying she is willing to refund the money deducted from their accounts.
“I have been following some news and the statements that some of us make in regard to the Shs1 Million that we passed in this House .It was passed and was adopted. Shs1 million was deducted and taken to the trust fund. It was an agreed position by all but you find members talking like we have removed Shs10 Billion from their accounts,” Among said.
In the communication, Speaker Among warned that MPs should desist from such debates since the decision was made and agreed upon by the whole house.
“Those who are not happy with the Shs1 million, kindly register your names, bring your names to my office and I will pay you cash.”
