President Museveni has warned that whoever has
swindled government money will punished and required to pay it back in
line with the law.
Speaking at a public rally at Kyarumba sub-county
headquarters in Bukonjo East county in Kasese District, Mr Museveni said
it has come to his notice that the country does not get value for her
money as contractors continuously collude with government officials to
do shoddy roadworks.
“I have been told that the Fort Portal – Kasese
road is in that poor state because it was poorly done due to corruption
and we have to reconstruct it after only a short time. This is
unacceptable,” he said.
The President also said he appointed a strict
woman Allen Kagina, to head the Uganda National Road Authority and she
asked him to appoint a judicial commission of inquiry, which he did to
bring the culprits to book.
“What is important for people to know is that
whoever ate government money will have to pay it back on top of being
punished in accordance with the Law,” Mr Musevei said.
