Anti corruption coalition Uganda says president Museveni's directive to ministry of finance to procure armored vehicles for Members of Parliament is an abuse of taxpayer's money.
Addressing a press conference, Cissy Kagaba, the executive director of the coalition noted that the Ugandan tax payer is already burdened by the fat allowances for MPs including basic pay, constituency facilitation, sitting allowances, social security among others .
The coalition is therefore calling upon the president to rescind this directive since it is discriminatory in nature against all Ugandans.
If the ministry of finance implement the president's directive, a total of Uganda shillings 228b will be needed.
