MITYANA MUNICIPALITY MP FRANCIS ZAAKE BUTEBI BLOCKS COVID-19 CASH CROM DROPPING ON HIS ACCOUNT.
The ardent people power leader today penned a letter ordering the Parliamentary Commission to desist from depositing on his account the UGX 20,000,000/=.
This money according to Zaake was mysteriously re-allocated to each MP from the #Covid_19 supplementary budget which was passed "without sufficient debate, and amidst mine and several other Members' protests" he says.
Zaake added that he was among the first MPs to donate relief items to families affected by the pandemic, and he remains under enormous pressure from his constituents to help them cope with the extended lockdown.
"my values as a leader prohibit me from condoning unethical and potentially illegal financial practices. I will continue sharing with my people the little I have, but without stealing from the public purse." He wrote in his letter.
