The Criminal Investigations Department of Police has summoned some Members of Parliament for alleged corruption in the national budgeting for years where a lot of tax payers money has been looted through the August House in connivance with the ministry of finance officials.
In an exclusive Interview with a Detective who didn’t allow to be quoted as he is not allowed to Speak on behalf of the CID, those who were summoned include the Speaker Anita Annet Among, Soroti City MP Herbert Ariko and Lwengo District Woman Member of Parliament Cissy Namujju Dionizia whose character has been questionable and marred with illegalities for some good time, but she has been getting fraudulent ways of escaping justice.
Others summoned are the staff of Parliament whose accounts continued to receive huge amounts of money and they are expected at CID Headquarters in Kibuli today for interrogation.
Among the staff is Ranny Ismail from the office of the Prime minister, Emmanuel Okwir Emuron and Okema Leonard.
The summons come days after President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni held the State of the Nation address where he disclosed that he has evidence on the corrupt public Officials.
Museveni said the MPs allegedly colluding with accounting officers, Bank of Uganda to make allocations of Public resources in exchange for kickbacks (bribes) and promised to crush them.
Museveni revealed that the facts before him confirmed long standing rumours he had of corruption at the heart of government especially during annual appropriation of tax payers money.
He plotted an idea of possible Amnesty to the corrupt MPS but majority of the legislators interrupted his speech such that he doesn’t name and shame them in public.
One of the summoned MPs Cissy Namujju Dionizia was in 2016 convicted of forgery by then High Court Judge Margret Tibulya who nullified her Election as the MP on academic grounds.
This was before the Court of Appeal then headed by Sam Kavuma former Deputy Chief Justice whose character at the bench was questionable too cleared her of forgery of academic papers in what was termed by those who know Namujju well as a “Fraudulent Clearance”.
