The Speaker of Parliament, Hon Anitah Annet Among, has lashed out to Opposition leaders who alleged that each MP was bribed with Shs100M to pass the Shs3.5Trn supplementary budget.
A visibly furious Among said the baseless rumours is a scheme by the Opposition leaders to try cover up for receiving money from homosexuals; she warned them against dragging Parliament into selling their country to gays.
“If you are covering your dirt on homosexuality, you are getting money on homosexuality and you are covering all that, don’t use this House to cover it. Don’t use Parliament to cover that, eat your money of bum shafters, you can’t say we are bribing you, bribing you for what? We are here working for our people, for us, we are here to do work, we are a people centred Parliament,” asserted Among.
She added that Parliament cannot bribe any MP of anything and warned that those spreading the rumours shall be dealt with.
“I want to request you people, before you come up with such an allegation, you must be able to substantiate. Our work is for the national service and we are paid for what we don. We are not bribed in any way and we are not going to be diverted, they are trying to cover their homosexuality saying Parliament was bribed, eat your money for homosexuality, sell your country and keep quiet on your own,” she added.
The Vice Chairperson of Parliament’s Budget Committee, Hon Ignatius Mudimi, denied allegations of bribery of MPs and asked the Speaker to ensure that the people behind these rumours are held accountable!
“MPs are being harassed by their voters back home who are demanding for their ‘share’ and I want to request that those spreading these rumours must be held accountable,” stressed Hon Mudimi.
