The summons come on the back of detention of three legislators who were yesterday subjected to home search and seizure operations. 

Cissy Namujju, Lwengo Woman MP,  Yusuf Mutembuli, MP for Bunyole East in Butaleja District and deputy chair of Parliament’s Legal Committee, and Busiki MP Paul Akamba, were quizzed on Monday and detained at Kira Division Police.

The investigations were ordered by President Yoweri Museveni.

The President revealed at the State of the Nation Address that he had finally received evidence against a corrupt cartel and pledged to crush them.

Museveni noted that he had been getting good information about corrupt actors among the public servants but also among the political actors. 

Had the President been meeting the Speaker and embattled MP Cissy Namujju over the said budget related corruption in 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.

He added, “With firm evidence, I will crush these traitors. Public servants and political leaders that steal Government money will be crushed.”

Parliament is reportedly tensed up following the arrest of the three MPs. Several legislators have told SoftPower News that some of their colleagues are holed up in the countryside out of fear they could be arrested. They insist everyone should carry their cross.
