SIR— I refer to the article “Binaisa sues Government†that appeared on the front page of The New Vision of July 4 in which the minister of Public Service is quoted as having said that Mr Godfrey Lukongwa Binaisa QC, a former president of Uganda, was being ungrateful about the facilitation being provided to him by the Government in his capacity as a former president.The minister wishes to correct the inaccurate report carried in that article as follows:-In the first place, the former president is entitled to and earns a salary which is two-thirds of the President’s salary and not one-third as reported.Secondly, the minister in his telephone response to The New Vision did not say that the former president “was being ungratefulâ€. He instead said that the former president should appreciate what the Government has been able to do for him so far.W.A. Kabogoza-Musoke for: Permanent SecretaryMinistry of Public Service
