Tororo MP Oboth, Soroti’s Peter Ogwang hand in Shs20m to district after Museveni rap
Last month President Museveni said it was morally reprehensible for members of parliament to award themselves Shs20m more so at such a time when the country is facing a crisis.
The president then advised them to return the money to their district headquarters and desist from using it on their personal expenses.
He warned that any member of parliament found using the money for personal gains will be audited and risks paying back the money through their salaries.
