All is silent about the UWA commission of inquiry, can we know more about Prof.Kanyeihamba''s report on UWA funds even though some corrupt commissioners disassociated themselves from the report. We know there are leading issues we should come know of what and who did what. Let parliament debate it and if they need guidance, there are many Ugandans around to to give the processes of how this can be handled, you dont need expertrates from abroad. Now Ugandans professionals and whistle blowers can do this voluntarily to fight fraud and corruption in public offices and projects.

Really we are talking of billions not millions of Uganda shillings and I dont know how much these are in US dollars. I however feel that people but two people have abused the trust endowed to them by the appointing authority so as to further abuse the their integrity, fame and to allow such abstrusive events to attract their mind into fraud and corruption. Eishi, this abnormal. At this rate when we factor into the stranded government projects, we learn that it is not safe in the MOFEP and othe projects infested ministries like agriculture and education. I now know that every public office is pannicking the way they account for public funds. The main culprit may be ministry of health and if you are not careful, it is the worst affected in terms of fraud and corruption.

I was quoting our President as reported in the NV dated 22 Dec 2011 and again here quoted in below: ((“Syda Bumba was an active minister but when I got these reports, that is why in this new government I said maybe you can look after the women as we investigate because I wanted to get to the truth.)) Thanks sir!!
Richard | Kampala
Ben Pitia from Helsinki, Ministry of gender is not just about women, please try to look out the defination of the term ''gender'' it goes beyond women.

This remains me Ex-health Minister during Amin''s regime Mr.Henry Kyemba, who was given money by the state to buy drugs for Ugandans. Only to come back as liberator with no drugs instead he wrote a book (state of blood).Now minister Syda Bumba and Kiddhu Makubuya what is your defense of not resigning now.If Mr.Museveni do the same to Mr.Mbabazi then Ugandans will recover allot of tax pay''s money with this parliamentarian.

Dear readers, why praise anyboy here? What has been achieved?
Nobody has been censured and the two are still ministers?
Even if something is done and the misiters centured and removed, why would someone think of saying BRAVO to M7?
The president told the PAC that he knew about this theft before he appointed the current cabinet! That is why he decided to move minister Bumba from finance to take care of women in this current cabinet!!
How can the big man just move a thief to take care of women as a punishment! Why not move her to Luzira? Were there no other Ugandans with clearner records who could take care of women?
And now you with your BRAVOs! What a waste of such a praise!!
Isabirye | Jinja
Its simple! if your name is mentioned do the honourable thing and resign. i rember in the Besigye Vs Museveni 1, the Lawyers representing Museveni then said " There is what we call community diagnosis". Therefore if the community diagnoses you as corrupt or thief, the burden of proof remains with you to prove whether your a thief or not. Bumba, Makubuya, Kutesa, Mbabazi, Kabakumba, Nassasira, Onek,Fox Odoi, Kabatsi, E.Muhoozi pliz pliz go

Hej men, she has been enjoying all our monies GO to hell you thugs. Youv put our country in a bad position, Uganda is more less Nigeria. MP should also table in the reduction of a number of Nigerians coming to settle in our country. Those buggers are nonosense who can do anything to servive. Similary even other sectors should start vetting their worker to creat jobs for the young generation who are still fuctional and more practical not those all beer drinkers with big tumbos. Bravo to Kadaga thanks for puting the country and its consititution before you.CONGRATS

It was very interesting to hear comments from many Ugandans on this topic; but the one posted by nagayi quote my attention. Its understandable that some people were not yet born or were still young during amin''s rule and perhaps their parents have not educated them on this part of our history. Amin''s rule was rather something you cannot campare to any civilian Governmet however rotten it may be. Amin''s ministers were immortal and untouchables.

Thanks Mr president 4 such a good reaction to wards you''re so called ministers and beg u to allow the LAW take its positions onto criminals 4 you''re government to remain clean & horned. Happy new year to all Ugandans.

Mr. Kwewaza Bukenya of London, for your information, Museveni isn''t a parliamentarian but the President. I wonder how you give credit where it isn''t due,think of the Speaker of Parliament, Maama Rebecca Kadaaga who has taken a mother''s stand to fend for her future offspring without fear or intimidations of all kind from her own political party. She is actually the true nationalist. Secondly, you ought to think of opposition minority in the parliament who have stood their ground to be counted as true patriots, ofcourse with some outstanding NRM members of parliament who have dified all odds from their own party to help Museveni realize reality on ground. Goodluck Speaker and all outstanding members of parliament. Keep the bugumu paka last! For God and my Country.

If Late Professor SSenyonga was imprisoned because he was tricked to in approving similar vouchers more than once.He was meant to believe that that projects funds were all being expended according to policy but he was later to end up in Luzira. Our CEOs and Ministers are not sure to learn that what goes around turns around. Imagine those boards of directors these ministers appoint are not for the proper running of public entities but for selfish ends.
Bishanga Paul | Kabale
The sooner Makubuya and Bumba are censured Uganda will start to move towards the state of having a country free of all forms of corruption.Am waiting to hear what other ministers are saying about their fellow ministers but surely what is most urgent is to censure them.
Richard Gudoi | Nakiwondwe,Busulani,Budadiri
I wrote ealier that these people when they are entrusted with positions of this kind, they tend to think that they are indipensable and they use positions to ride on the backs of those who appointed them. Such that when they are sitting their offices that be, the forget they are to take decisions that cost the public fund and they are expected to show proper leadership and good accountability,integrity and so on. However, the Presidency is doing the right job by waiting and searching for solutions and listening to the voices, whisttle blowing and using commissions of equiries and investigative reports, now they are acting with the full force of the people and policy.

The number of people in this scam is more than 2, besides Bassaja is and has always been a 'tool' planted by some well placed people. 169 billion !! an entire budget of some ministries. Cancer should eat up all ya stomachs thugs.

KADAGA for next and first woman president of Uganda. If NRM does not choose you, form your own party. You will swim in votes.
kasirye lwokya | london
when will a nation see someone charged for fraud , if convicted their assets disposed of and the tax payer paid back.MP''s keep on the pressure of exposing the culprits ,it might deter those who are thinking going down that route .Fingers crossed.

The 9th parliament is giving Museveni a golden chance to cleanse his hands from financial/ corruption accusations. If he interferes with the work of parliament, it will be a missed opportunity! Hope his "Advisers" read the opinions of Ugandans and advice him properly.
Tom Sad | Hamburg
Poor woman Bumba!!!
She is pictured crying,it seems things are really getting serious.
Ugandans should be informed as to why all the time people with wanting intergrity are holding key and influential positions in the government.The parliament must also come clean since it is responsible for veting these people before they take up their posts.
alfred | k''la
Honourable Kadaga you took long to come to this position! Thanks for putting the nation before everything.Long live!

Good start for New Year for Uganda, ofcourse not for the crooks.

let them be censured or resign and there after be taken to luzira. i will be satisfied to hear kabaumba in the hands of mr byabasija (luzira)
david kamau | Kampala
Basajjabalaba''s money is just a tip of the iceberg.
david kamau | Kampala
The Anglo-leasing and Goldenburg corruption cannot compare with this. Imagine, the country has spent almost five years just, uncovering the tip of the hidden filth. Some billions were even found in people''s bedrooms.!! The country is being torn apart as if Hynas are tearing up their prey.
kewaza bukenya | London
Well done Kadaga and the Ninth parliament. A big statue of the Ninth Parliament should be put in constitutional square. At last the people''s power is being felt. Bravo Museveni, for allowing the MPs do their work!!

these people are all old and out of ideas but only now de-toothers. They ve remained to be wolokoso people and only saying takataka. nothing else. sincerely what have they done?!!! But only to pile our ears with venom!!
banoba | Dubai
MPs are members of parliament who are the reflectors of their respective areas of residence and the country at large.however sincerely speaking these Mps cant fulfill peoples demands equally because majority if not all,work for their stomachs. But some have at one occasion or another faced some fire from the masses who voted for them. for that some have come back to their quotient and start to do the needful.
These culprits should be censured at quickest time possible. Let them learn from the Bunyoro princes Matsiko.

A new year gives each of us the opportunity to start a new.This is the right time to discard all the non performers in Cabinet.Its good to hear Makubuya and Bumba are set to pack.Even thoes cutting down Mabira forest should stop it immediately.Uganda is for all of us there4 should work as a team to develope but not destroy.May God Bless u.
Richard | Kampala
He added that the money paid to Basajjabalaba is sh169 billion according to police reports and not the sh142bn that PAC had in its report. Is pac doing its job very well if it is the president to tell them the correct amount that was paid to Basajjabalaba?

Joy | Nottingham, UK
I salute the ninth parliament for continuing to bit. I just wish it the best of luck in cleaning up the executive. I want them to quickly clean up the executive and start on individual ministries may be Uganda may be able to save billions of shillings lost and off course reduction in standards of living because of corruption.
Kamau, what about Kenya from where you get your name? Have you heard of Anglo leasing or Goldenburg? How did these end? Is that not corruption and is it not in Africa?
Mubangizi Matia | Kampala
Sometimes one wonders if the next day this country will not be Mortgaged and all Ugandans used as slaves forever. For heavens sake how can a person of senior Three level con Professors at a ministerial rank!!!!!!!!!!
Shame on you Professor Makubuya, at least you should have detected this Basajja if you never had interests in the game.
don | oslo
what was basajjabalaba''s total investment, including expected internal rate of return for the period of the deal? what formula was used to calculate the compensation paidout? how much interest was paid to govt on that compensation? what supporting documentary did the bank of uganda use to pay?
SN | London
In the new year if we continue to have people like Bukenya in London who was a staunch supporter it is bad. Next regime he will praise another president to Museveni
Ntege Freddie Ssekamere | Kampala
Someone in the opposition must be bewitching President Museveni's ministers. How else can you put it? The problem with witchcraft is that you can not deploy police to teargass it. The President should be advised to reshuffle the entire cabinet and appoint a new one. His dilema, however, is that most of the ministers either helped him financially, militarily or politically to ascend to power - which is why he sometimes protects them. The good thing is that most of them are no longer relevant in this generation of young people who want to break away from the past and forge ahead.

The magnitude of offence at which ugandan leaders bury her citizens undisputedly is worse than the civillians going back to the BUSH,so no wonder the mentioned rats and cochroches should deserve for there own responsibilities.

This is the best parliament Uganda has ever had!! Great thanks to Museveni for allowing it to do its work. Idi Amin would have summarily shot each every signatory.

The most corrupt government in Uganda''s history if not Africa!! Uganda must be very rich to have survived this Tsunami of theft.
