Abraham Luzzi, an independent candidate vying for the Kampala Central Division Member of Parliament seat, has criticized fellow legislators for buying ambulances, arguing that it is the government’s responsibility to provide such services.
Appearing on NBS Barometer, Luzzi emphasized that Members of Parliament should focus on policy-making rather than taking on duties that belong to the executive arm of government.
“I’m not the kind of MP who’s going to buy people ambulances — no, we need to make the government provide these services,” Luzzi said.
He argued that such actions by MPs represent a deviation from their core responsibilities and undermine the government’s ability to deliver essential public services.
“MPs doing that are doing the government’s job,” Luzzi stated.
Luzzi’s remarks come amid growing scrutiny of politicians who use constituency funds to purchase ambulances and other equipment — a practice some critics describe as populist and aimed at currying favor with voters rather than addressing systemic governance issues.
Luzzi’s campaign has centered on accountability, transparency, and efficient governance. His manifesto includes proposals to increase the minimum wage, improve healthcare, and enhance infrastructure development across the country.
