The Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemuju Nganda has asked the government to arrest the people behind the Lubowa Specialized Hospital deal that led to billions of money going to West.
This was during a Parliamentary session on Tuesday in which the MPs discussed the denial of opposition MPs to visit the said hospital.
Ibrahim Ssemujju alsorevealed that government paid an excess of US$70Mn (Shs276.166Bn) in uncertified work at Lubowa Hospital & the resident engineer deployed by government to secure the interests of Ugandans was chased away by Enrica Pinetti, the proprietor of Lubowa Hospital.
He also called for the prosecution of all people who defended the controversial Lubowa hospital project, like then Minister of State for Planning, David Bahati, accusing him of pressuring Parliament to approve the promissory notes for Lubowa hospital under the pretext that Uganda would be fined it it didn’t honour its obligation per the contract signed with Pinetti.
“I feel sad, the whole, David Bahati, then Minister of State for Planning was here putting Parliament on gun point we must approve this promissory note immediately, or else we are going to begin paying fines. There should be a time when these people are being marched to Luzira like the time of Amin. Minister Bahati’s warrant should find him at the gate in Luzira, how comes the ones violating the contract aren’t paying fines?” said Ssemujju.
Parliament directed for an audit into the whole project by ten Auditor General
