July 27, 2021 Written by URN Opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party has reiterated calls for the scrapping of MPs vehicle cash, saying Uganda is too poor to afford such a venture for so many legislators. The call comes less than a week after 529 MPs and 26 ex-officios each received Shs 200 million on their accounts to purportedly buy themselves a car. No accountability is needed for this money, and the latest payout has once again drawn public ire especially at a time when most Ugandans continue to suffer the financial bluntness of the Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions. Speaking at the party’s headquarters at Najjanankumbi in Kampala on Monday, FDC spokesperson and one of the MPs who got the money, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda said the government must adopt a policy where all its employees including MPs should be just given interest-free loans recovered from their monthly salaries to buy for themselves cars.
