Police have summoned the Parliament’s Legal Committee vice chairperson, Yusuf Mutembuli; Lwengo Woman MP, Cissy Namujju and Busiki County MP, Paul Akamba to CID headquarters in Kibuli at 9:00am, 10:00am and 11:00am respectively. 

The Police have summoned three Members of Parliament to appear at the Criminal Investigation Directorate headquarters in Kibuli on Monday morning. 

The summons sent through Parliament requires the current vice chairperson of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs committee, Yusuf Mutembuli, who is also the MP of Bunyole East in Buteleja district, to appear in person to answer corruption related queries.  

Namujju and Akamba are also wanted over corruption related matters.   

ChimpReports has learnt that two of the accused are wanted over their roles in the Budget Committee of Parliament that they were previously members.  

One of the legislators reportedly had some underhand dealings with Kenyans during the processing of the Petroleum Supplies Amendment Bill in November 2023. 

“Parliament is becoming a market place of deals for some MPs. There was a plot to sabotage the Petroleum Supplies Amendment Bill and there are people who positioned to benefit from it at the expense of Ugandans,” said source. 

Meanwhile another MP is said to have collected huge sums of money from various agencies while still serving as a member of the Budget committee. The said legislator bought an expensive SUV and personalized its number plate. It is also said that the same legislator has erected big construction projects and also wanted to buy a property in the U.S at USD$3 million.

The summons followed President Yoweri Museveni’s revelation during the State of the Nation Address last week.

The President said he has evidence on the corrupt syndicate from the Ministry of Finance to Parliament.

“I have been hearing that from the Ministry of Finance, they collude with the accounting officers of ministries to come to Parliament working with some people there (Parliament) to provide certain funds, provided you take a share. I didn’t believe this but now I have proof,” said Museveni lastThursday.

“For sure the corrupt don’t know how strong we are, we are patient but if you make a mistake, you will see.”

Museveni did not mention names.
