MPs really disgust me!

Sep 01, 2003

SIR — I am disgusted by the MPs who are planning to award themselves more money through the so-called pension scheme. The situation of ordinary Ugandans is getting worse day by day and the reason we are always given is that we are a poor country.

Essential services like health and education are very poor or non-existent in most parts of Uganda. The people who provide the most essential services are earning peanuts and living in pathetic conditions. UPDF soldiers have over the years failed to get decent accommodation. Medical workers are poorly paid. When we ask why, Government says it has no money. If this is so, are they going to print special money for MPs pension?
